Pros

10% discount is about it

Cons

New starters are paid more than the existing staff. So you’re training people that are being paid much more than yourself, a big incentive to leave

Cons

A lot of set processes and procedures from head office, it can be quite rigid

Pros

Got to travel and train overseas, which was incredible. The supervisors and associates were awesome to work with.

Cons

Upper management was a joke. They would come into the store, not say hello and start grilling you. The turnover rate of managers and district managers is a complete joke. Why is so much good talent leaving? Nobody can answer that. I am so grateful that I was able to find a better job with a better company, thinking of LIDL makes me cringe and feel bad for those still there. Store managers are so underpaid it's not even close.
