Lidl reviews

Long hours without break (the break is unpaid), no water permitted to drink on the shop floor, or check point, you have to leave the queue to go to the toilet. Generally you have 10, 11 hours night shift and you can finish at 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning. Your rate is £8.25 for Saturdays, Sundays, Bank Holidays, nights. With one word they pay you only this, no more. For contract 30 hours you do usually 40-50 and they don't want to hear you for any adjustments on the rota. You are a slay. At the end of the month you receive around £1000, no more. Even the holidays are when they want, not when you need. The company don't want to waste money for you for training. For two years there I've received only four days introduction training and all this time i'm cleaning the tills or attending the customers. The lack of training and perspective is killing me. I'm now depressive and with no self steem. I'm looking forward to finish the University and try something new. Stay away from this company if you have self respect.

Glass ceiling between sm and area manager positions. Very poor management from more senior managers. Too much emphasis on productivity, more should be put into well being of staff and customers.
