Lidl reviews

Inconsistent hours...people have ONE 5 hour day a week. You get no employee benefits unless you're a PT30, and that's difficult to achieve Work/Life balance exists if you get little hours per week. Management is rubbish; Store 1003 has had like seven managers Communication is almost nonexistent. They are very frugal, so hours definitely get cut unexpectedly Schedule changes without notification THEY DON'T CASH ALL OF YOUR PTO HOURS OUT WHEN YOU LEAVE.

In London we are all experienced hires—so those hoping to come in on the graduate scheme would come in at store manager level likely for several years. I get lots of people asking about this when enquiring for vacancies. If you are a grad, specify outside of London! If you don't have much retail experience the amount of responsibility could be daunting, also the pace that you would need to get up to speed is very fast. Really outdated HR management system makes it hard to keep track of 200+ employees and manage them appropriately. Very, very, challenging targets which ultimately jeopardise other areas of the business; the strategy from Germany really doesn't consider the operational conditions and culture of the UK which can create other issues for customers and staff.
