      Pros

      Good pay and company car. Opportunities to progress if you tow the line and don't question anything - just do as your told and you'll go far

      Cons

      Long, long hours. Don't expect much of a work/life balance. Lidl has to be your life and your expected to work for every penny of your salary which is fine but most managers are working unofficially after the end of their working hours to complete tasks that can't be achieved due to the every increasing targets being set by senior management

      Pros

      Good pay for someone who is essentially a staff member with a different title.

      Cons

      Lack of personal development, lack of training, unprofessional, unethical, level of professionalism and knowledge of the area managers is shocking. How can an area manager not be aware of Defra in food retail. No interest in improving store operations and new ideas, it's the Lidl way without any interest in improving profitability or reducing costs. Extremely poor HR practices, food safety standards and Health and safety practices. Regular days of 14 hours plus. Believe all the negative feedback, I've personally seen examples of it all in practice.
