Pros

You will make $50-60k as an analyst and $80-$90k as a manager at Lidl regardless if you have zero experience. They have good health insurance and vested 401k. There is a gym in the business as well that you receive a discounted rate at $25/month. You will get the experience to travel to Europe for 7 weeks or longer. Some employees are asked to go for 6 months or longer. The office is new and you are given a new iphone and surface upon hire.

Cons

The company culture and work environment is the worst that I have ever encountered. You will be forced to work until 8pm, come in at 6am, stay for meetings that run until 11pm and work on the weekends. If you do not fit into the culture you will be made to feel uncomfortable. Many of the employees are friends outside of work and go out together or are dating. Everyone talks about everyone else. There is a lot of gossip. Many employees are unhappy and there has been an influx of people leaving. This is why HR has had to continuously write fake positive reviews to help offset the real ones. The sad part is that many of the negative reviews are written by people who are current employees. With so many people leaving, they have lots of openings and need the positive reviews to help lure new ones in. When giving presentations you will be ripped apart. They also consistently refer to the American consumer as stupid.
