Lidl reviews

Utterly rubbish, condescending, patronising management Never respecting contracted hours Never getting planned holiday - doesn’t matter if you’ve booked/got it authorised will still put you on a ten hour shift. So if you’ve kids and want the day off with them -be prepared to argue and be made to feel bad because they don’t actually have the foresight to implement the absence into the weekly plans If you like back pain this absolutely is the job for you. New starters are shoved on the tills for ten hours (minus that generous 30 min break that you get to spend in the most depressing little hovel ever) Often left on ur own to manage to tills with a constant stream of 10 + customers cause most of the staff have chuffed off on their lush early shift Constantly give the rubbish shifts to new staff - be waiting at home all day to start shifts at 3/4 pm and given awful weekend shifts which means you’ve no way of enjoying social time. I didn’t see any of my close friends for the whole 4 months I worked there If you value your life then don’t bother

Lack of Communication Work/life balance isn't actually there, despite what they tell you in training. Outdated technology and facilities in stores (Things are constantly breaking, malfunctioning or just outright not working) Denying breaks, while also claiming that it is "very important" to take all alotted breaks during your shift. Not allowing people to leave at their scheduled time. Basically, at this stage in the game, Lidl US is an HR nightmare, maybe someday they will figure things out but I won't be there to see it.
