Pros

5% 401k Match Good health care and commuter benefit Sr. managers get free cars with gas

Cons

The pay is way below market, unless you're manager and above. No work life balance, the open space concept allows the managers to monitor what time you come in and leave. If you are not present for at least 12 hrs/day, it means you don't care enough for your job. Some people don't do any work, just bs their way through. No recognition of hard work whatsoever. If you are white male or female with short skirts, you'll be promoted. HR don't take any complaints or resolve any issues. You are expected to come into the office during the snowstorm, even if the metro or buses don't run. Oh there's no telework policy so feel free to risk your life on a slippery highway. Avoid this place at all costs, unless you're 22 and want something in your resume.

Pros

Good hourly rate friendly staff good holidays

Cons

The hourly rate might be good but sometimes the lack of available hours can make the hourly rate pointless. Management are hard pushed to get the job done and that often shows. If you cant be available to work extra shifts at the drop of a hat that will reflect on you're yearly appraisal. There is most 0 work life balance working for Lidl is only recommended for those who can devote almost 100% of their time to the job .
