Pros

Flexible schedule, benefits and pay

Cons

Rules are different for those close to management There are 2-3 different supervisors providing various task for you to complete without any communication between them. Employees don't know how to read so products are misplaced which causes large quantities of write-off's, due to food expiring because it's not rotated. They expect you to complete large task, which should be completed by two people, in a little bit of time. Instead of management being polite and firm, most speak to you in a nasty, intimidating tone. There is a lack of morale. You have to fix problems created by other employees who are not trained properly. You are not told how much you are appreciated but everything that you do wrong. You may not get your 15 minute break, as your often forgotten about. Your accommodation may not be approved whether it's from your doctor or not. They really don't care about you. You are just a number to them. There is no

Pros

The bad outweighs the good

Cons

The company is run by people that have very little experience in the roles they’re in. If you’re not German or a white male your opportunities are limited. You’re brainwashed into believing that you won’t be able to get another job elsewhere so you feel psychologically bound to staying there, for a salary that is far less than what you deserve.

Pros

-pay is great -benefits -free excercise from daily work

Cons

Put in my two weeks and management just simply removes me from the schedule and called it a day. I find out I am still in the system when I am paid PTO with healthcare deductions two weeks AFTER my last day. I call the health insurance company and they confirm I am still active in the system so I call Lidl HR and they made me pay for the entire next month of health insurance because HR decided to put my end date that current month instead of when my end date actually was, which I had told them multiple times. I was screwed over and lost PTO because someone didn't do their job correctly.
