Pros

There are good people with a strong desire to work for the overall concept Lidl is all about. However, it is unfortunate the leaders of the US Real Estate team are immature, uneducated, unseasoned selfish individuals that refuse to learn from the experience of their hired consultants and internal team members.

Cons

immature and inexperienced leadership resulting in poor results. unethical real estate practices. don't give

Pros

Hourly pay, if that's all you are looking for when choosing work

Cons

Now I know why the hourly pay at these discount supermarkets are so much higher than all the others: if it wasn't this high, literally nobody would even consider working for them. Stupidly high staff turnover, the store had a whole new set of employees every six months or so; everyone was overworked, the company ignores all of your needs, and does not respect that a work/life balance should exist or treat their staff like people in any way. While there you are expected to meet ridiculous targets, to the standards of people who had worked for the company for years, on your second day. The management was by far the worst thing about the place and made the entire store atmosphere almost unbearable - I can deal with hard work so our store manager was the only reason I left. I understand that with so many targets to hit to keep prices low you have to be firm on your staff and make sure they are working to their best standards but this was ridiculous; the whole store constantly felt bullied and intimidated. Treatment of staff is the primary issue here as opposed to the actual work expected.
