Pros

Fair pay, that increases the longer you stay there unto £9 per hour. Nice friendly team. Friendly customers. Sometimes enjoyable. Shifts go quick as kept busy. 10% discount.

Cons

Don't always get out on the time that is on the rota. Sometimes not enough staff for the amount of work that there is to do.... however it is expected to be done. Early mornings - Start at six. No extra pay for sundays or bank holidays.

Pros

It is really a fast moving company, there is a lot of diversity here and you never get bored. The work environment is really dynamic and you can find some amazing people. People here are passionate about retail and that can be really inspiring. You can really build a career at Lidl as you have many development opportunities, but you will have to prove yourself and to work a lot. You get a good pay for your salary.

Cons

It might look a bit stiff compared to the other companies and it's true, but you need to think what is important to you. Do you want to be a good professional with some valuable experience? Or maybe choose the easy way? Lidl is definitely not the easy way, but it's worth trying! There is still a lot to improve in terms of employee engagement and building a friendly work environment, but the Management team is working on that.
