Pros

At Lidl, from the recruitment process which is very transparent to the induction and in-store training is just fantastic. The Induction programme was highly organised to the extent that train tickets and taxis were all pre-booked. The team in my store is just fantastic. The manager very awsome and friendly. Manager down to earth , does cleaning and sit on the till. You cant see this anywhere

Cons

Not known at the moment since iam highly impressed with things. I did not expect such an outstanding and systematic training
