      Avoid buying admin - grad scheme a joke

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good name to have on CV - You will develop bags of resilience due to having to deal with bad attitudes on a regular basis - Day goes quickly as far too much work / employee

      Cons

      - Incompetent management - makes it difficult to improve and progress - Hostile and aggressive culture - only way to succeed and progress is to simultaneously be a 'yes' man and act in a direct and aggressive manner - Grad scheme is non-existent - Admin work is monotonous, repetitive and not intellectually stimulating - Work life balance not encouraged - culture of doing overtime for the sake of it - Managers not able to support teams due to spending most of their time in (clearly not very helpful) meetings - No concern for employee wellbeing - Progression opportunities extremely limited

      Pros

      Health benefits are second to no one else in retail. PTO accrual rate is generous. 401k plan is very competitive. Training WILL be good after they get the kinks worked out.

      Cons

      Quality of employees initially hired for new stores are lackluster. Training is a work in progress as a lot of money is wasted on classroom training that may not equate into actual results in-store. Retraining the same classroom topics to incompetent employees later on in-store most likely will be required (waste of Lidl's resources).
