Lidl reviews

-Managers are compensated handsomely, even though they may have absolutely no relevant work experience. Lower-level employees are considered second-class citizens and are paid poorly in comparison, especially considering that the DC metro area is one of the most expensive areas in the country. -Incredibly demanding and demeaning senior management. Belittlement and intimidation are used quite often. Never in my life have I been made to feel so completely worthless and unintelligent. So much for "Respect"... -Complete disregard of many local rules and regulations -The company does a fabulous job of tugging on the heart strings of young, naive college grads ("Travel!", "Startups!", "Success!", "Change the Grocery Industry Forever!"). While all companies love to embellish how great they are, Lidl's propaganda machine is especially well-oiled. At the end of the day, no matter how hard this company tries to sell themselves as a hip and trendy startup, it is important to remember that they are just a big grocery chain run by narcissists.

training is rubbish, having to train new staff is rubbish they need to have a dedicated source for training new as they are only allowed so many hours and a training mentor (which r the staff that could not give a hoot) has quarter of these watch a video tick a sheet and that's u passed the training joke . for managers it is totally inadequate (high wage, car, promise of a store in reality current store deeps could do a better job , but they have to pass a store manager development day that they have had no training for) current store managers also had to pass smdi day the managers that could talk the talk passed ( big pay rise and company car the failures kept their jobs (without pay rise or other perks) but still have to do the same work as those that passed. bizarre . work life balance zero. audits audits and audits how managers deal with this is beyond me. feel for them. deputy is the way to go as it does not matter what they do wrong there store manager gets the blame and we have no accountability but get paid really well
