Lidl reviews

Told anything at interview to get you in, most of which are false promises. Expected to work (6 hours plus) without taking breaks entitled to by law, expected to sign out and work for free, called in on days off, called in early, expected to stay on 1,2,3 even four hours after end of shift ON A DAILY BASIS, painfully understaffed, hugely unrealistic and unreachable targets, never allowed to go home ill, EXPECTED TO WORK WITH SICKNESS AND DIARRHEA DESPITE HANDLING FOOD ALL DAY, absolutely no concern for staff well being. Spoken to like a piece of dirt by people (esp reg manager) on 6 times the salary you're on. Back braking work for no appreciation what so ever. Constant threat of disciplinarys for honest minor mistakes. No hope of progression due to lack of staff to manage in the first place. Very greedy conniving company out to exploit and hoard the profits made by such exploitation (prices low due to 'efficient' staff numbers, i.e forcing individuals to do the work of 3 people until they have a breakdown/ become institutionalized/ ect. I'd rather work at Auschwitz, at least there you had death to look forward to...

Management is awful. Workload is badly organised. Pay does not correspond to the work we do or the fact that everyone employed in the role is a graduate working in London. There is no scope for progression even after working for almost 2 years. You are seen as easily replace-able and management don't seem to care about the knowledge and expertise you amass in the job or the time it takes to learn the job. Always expected to show a happy face and pretend everything is okay when it clearly isn't. Head office is getting too small for the number of employees needed. Hardly any employee benefits. No canteen/not enough space for employees in the office during lunch hour.
