Lidl reviews

* There's never enough staff. 'Prod' or 'labour costs' are very tight. Which means the manager on shift has to do everything, while the rest of the staff sit on till. Work all the stock, ensure compliance, tap dance for the customers. It's unjusifiably difficult..... and then you get a sick call. And guess what? You're then on till and nothing on shift gets done. And that's your fault. But... Lidl GB do have the money to parade a fake Cola truck around the country. To upgrade stores that are 5 years old. * Store Managers are generally terrible. I've met 4 good ones in 8 years. There's no management training worth it's salt, no coaching, as the area managers aren't that great anyway and are overstretched. They're just people who can work stock really fast. Generally men. Go men!! * Not a job for a woman unless you have balls of steel and can lift weights and run around for 10 hours, with a break after 7 hours. It's.... not easy at all. And coming home to a young family, after enduring a shift where nobody was made happy today: not the customer, the company, or yourself... well, it's soul destroying. And could easily be fixed by simply allowing us to have more people on shift.

Unorganized chaos, they have no solid processes that work they are always changing. It’s more of who you know vs how hard you work if you are looking for a promotion. They hang on to managers and DM’s that have no clue what they are doing. The training and development is out dated most of the time. The training and H/R department were all fired. There is no reprimand for poor management. There is definitely favoritism. There are ASMs who should have been promoted to SMs but are looked over. The expansion for Lidl is for the upper North East. The ATL regions they will continue to lie to say they are opening up new stores when they are not. If you are serious about your career development this is not the place for you. This place is a career trap, get your money and get out and find something better. Go to Aldi’s or Publix or any other places that have better procedures and policies.
