      German system, overdemanding, countrys treated like slaves

      Pros

      good pay, good local management (if you are lucky)

      Cons

      Rules of the company MUST be regarded in every country, regardless of the laws. More the pitty that the rules are written by people with no experience (outside) of Lidl, processes are 10 years overdated and down right antique, all support only one: total control of employees.. Workdays run normaly between 10-12 hour days leadership style is in practice different than on paper (worse), hierarchy rules.

      Horrendous place to work

      Deputy store manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It was a job, paid the bills for a while. Honestly the only positive thing I can say.

      Cons

      Bully-boy management style rife throughout the organisation, old school scaring and threatening of employees. Pass-the-buck Store Managers looking to find fault and blame for own shortcomings at every turn. Huge staff turnover, staff morale is on the floor. The worst experience of my 15 years working, by a mile. Laughable attempts to cover up the negative feedback from current and former employees as 'not being able for hard work' or 'you don't get paid for drinking coffee'. Regularly worked 60+ hours per week, still never enough. Awful, truly awful place to work. STAY AWAY

      Great benefits, stressful job ...

      Pros

      The company is going through a lot of changes to alter it's image and evolve. The actions they are taking put them in the right direction.

      Cons

      Everything is based on productivity. The employees are stretched until their breaking point. They are changing their image but still run on their hard discount practices.
