Lidl reviews

Numbers don't lie. Extremely high turnover. Out our team of 15, only 2/3 people have been there longer than a year. Vendors/ business partners hate doing business with Lidl. Speak with any vendor doing business with them and ask about their experience. Like the vendors, they will jerk you around and show zero respect. Additionally, your name with be dragged through the mud. Complete disorganization and constant "fire drills" will make you look like you have no idea whats going on. Not a good place for anyone starting out and looking to build networks. Bait and Switch. From the time I interviewed and accepted the position, they switched the manager and brought in someone who had never managed anyone before and have zero chemistry with. They will sell you on "being a new company in the US" "early promotional" opportunities, but it is smoke and mirrors. They are yet to turn a $ and are living off Lidl Europe. Company will falter as this rate, they are already a few years behind. The Lidl US founders have already jumped ship. Lastly, it is hard to generalize everyone at Lidl, but many of the employees will go out of their way to put you down to make themselves look good. Actually the non-US employees are more respectable. Overall not a good culture. Run.

Lidl US can feel like a start-up - yes, it is the daughter of a huge international company, but many policies and procedures are still being developed from scratch here. That can be exciting, but if you want structured tasks and 100% predictability at work, this environment may not be for you. Our 'start-up feel' also means that yes, there is a lot to do, and this can lead to some long hours. The company is growing quickly, and there is room for improvement in internal communication, especially between departments.
