Pros

growth opportunities, decent compensation, exciting to be part of Lidl US in the beginning stages, a few great coworkers

Cons

extremely stressful environment with a bunch of people trying to make a name for themselves. many individuals would throw fellow coworkers under the bus to make themselves look better to upper management. Upper management and the Board of Directors within the company are not American and do not want to understand or convert to the way we do business in the US (this includes American customs, laws, and even closing for inclement weather). It is also hard to work in an completely "open concept" environment with no offices or cubicles- everyone can see (and they do watch) your every move all day every day. the personal stress and soul crushing environment is not worth the comp/growth opportunities

Pros

Great people work there. A lot of responsibility. Young and fun culture.

Cons

Tone at the top does not respect employee time or concerns. Unqualified and Non-English speaking decision makers create inefficiencies and animosity. Does not respect third party vendors time or work production. Internal organization and communication is poor.
