      The most Awful experience I've ever had in my entire life

      Customer assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Discount is the only pro I can think about. Not even the wage is a pro as you are asked to give up on your private life.

      Cons

      Everything. The shop manager was the rudest person I have ever met I my life, dreadful, chav, fake, incapable of speaking to her staff.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I can't think of anything positive to say about this company. I changed career and thought I would enjoy a new challenge but I was completely wrong where Lidl was concerned.

      Cons

      30 minutes break in a 10 hour shift (if your lucky) Unhappy staff Everyone out for themselves (management) No work life balance Assistant Managers mainly do all the work and get all the pressures. Training is awful. Blame culture. Unrealistic expectations.

      Pros

      Very good salary, travel expenses alawance, 10 % discount card straight away. Unfortunately, that's the only pro offered by the company.

      Cons

      - no training (they have a great careful training plan for all new starters but no one care to deliver it,when I asked about it, I been told that is too early for me to start training plan), - very very hard work, - long working hours, - no life work balance at all, - dirty stores, - management with no people skills at all, - old school management - only manager can be right ! - all the brilliant ideas are only on the website, a store life is a different story, - they change colleagues rota without let them know, - very short sick pay (10 days per year), - a very bad company to work for!
