Good pay..and that's about it. Can't tell anything more good about this company. Salary is only good thing in lidl.no more positives.

Cons

There is no loyalty.. You can be the best manager for years but if you will hv bad time all want you achieve is forgotten and you get treated as worst employee.

As a manager they work you to the bone. They will use you up and then throw you away. Always looking to cut your targets. Can be a very stressful environment. Contract hours 43 realistic 60-70hrs

Pros

I really like working for this company, I have great colleagues, we get along very well and it is a very respectful environment. We go to happy hours and get along well, also outside of work. We have the opportunity to participate in trainings and develop our skills in workshops. It is just an very exciting surrounding and you get to work on very interesting projects, when you think about what this company wants to achieve in the US market. The company does cool stuff like free yoga classes, they get you a discounted gym membership, they organize events for the employees,.. Benefits are really not bad at all. Company Car, good Salary. Teamwork is highly encouraged, which is the way to go in my opinion.

Cons

You really can create something here, since so much needs to be developed and implemented - you can leave a footprint with your work, meaning you are responsible for big projects. Does that come with working hard? Yes. But also it is very rewarding when you see what impact you actually do have. Do I sometimes work over hours? Yes, but not everyday / every week. I am responsible for my own projects, so I can decide how I divide my time - very independently.
