Pros

If you have no experience, this job pays well.

Cons

1. Be friends with your bosses boss outside of work and you'll be promoted. 2. If you're harassed or abused by your manager and you complain to HR, HR will tell them you complained about them. 3. Only the worst people get promoted - 29 year old, unexperienced and aggressive. 4. Poor decision making is often rewarded. 5. Extremely high turnover. 6. I don't understand the good pay comments -- Lidl does not pay well at all, except if you don't have any experience. 7. I don't know anyone who is happy working for Lidl, when you speak with them candidly. 8. Lidl expects you to berate your external partners who work extremely hard for you. 9. If you treat people the way Lidl wants you to treat them, your career is done. 10. I love how they post fake reviews on Glassdoor.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
