Pros

In a management position at Lidl you will learn as much as you want, but only if you want to. Motivation is the key and the more motivated you are the easier it is to progress in the company. Well paid, structure based work, fair workload.

Cons

No bonus scheme, depending on the store and position but you may notice favouritism.

Pros

Pay well Friendly team Chance of progression

Cons

Long hours at till, zero variety especially for new staff Called last minute on days off to come into work and being made feel bad if you don't A lot of favouritism to certain employees who get all the morning shifts, not evenly divided out Clinical depressing environment, no mental stimulation, background music would be an extreme addition to Lidl stores and make it feel more like a shop and less like a factory. No work life balance at all Staff are just a number, everything comes down to meeting targets.
