Pros

Competitive pay for every minute you've worked, relatively friendly team,

Cons

Terrible hours - you might have to stay until 3 am even though you were meant to finish by 11.30pm. Been working therefor quite a while now and I have never left on time. This might be okay if this is your full-time job and you don't have any other occupations besides it but not of you're a full time student with a busy schedule and exam stress. Managers, apart from a few exceptions (maybe) fail to understand that there are people who are not able to devote all of their energy to this job. Also, the breaks are way too short. People who work 9 or 10 hour shifts only get an half an hour break. Furthermore, the whole team, or maybe even the whole company, fails to acknowledge the importance of customer service. Managers refer to older customers, who need a bit longer to ask a question, as "time wasters". The employees however are not to blame for this. If you as an employee are treated in a disrespectful manner, why would you treat you customers any better? Lidl clearly does not understand how a company can achieve a healthy culture allowing it to provide good customer service.
