Does Lidl offer stock options?

Decent pay and benefits from day one

Poor leadership with no work-life balance. Job title and relationships matter more than competency and results

Great pay and benefits, some fantastic colleagues and leaders. Of the leaders I had some did invest in my development and growth.

During my time with the company, I saw a lot of leadership changes and a growing disconnect between office teams and frontline colleagues. The 'We Are Lidl' ethos and High 5 values seem to have been forgotten in the race for productivity and market share. While head office meetings start with social chats, store and warehouse teams are too busy to take a toilet break without risking performance management. The business promotes inclusion and encourages people to be themselves, but only if they fit the mould. Constructive feedback often goes unheard, and those who challenge the status quo don’t tend to last. Success seems to come to those who hit targets at any cost, using political tactics and treating their teams like pawns. I hope things get better again, I had such high hopes.

Great pay and benefits also good discounts

I didn't have enough time to grow with the company

Great pay and benefits, good experience

Company not transparent about outlook and too focused perks for employees instead of retention. For instance, announced that profit goals were being met ahead of schedule and then 2 weeks later, another round of layoffs (including myself).

-Good healthcare and decent retirement options

-Pay, lack of advancement opportunity, overworked

-Salary and benefits were good (I got like 4 raises without being promoted and several bonus checks) -I got to travel and live abroad expense free -Company car (some employees) -Temporary company housing was amazing -Coworkers were cool for the most part -When they switched to full time telework after the pandemic, I was much happier

-Lack of diversity -No regard for work life balance. God forbid you have kids and a family at home that you would like to spend time with -Leadership was a revolving door -5 different CEOs during the 8.5 years I was there -My department changed management so often, can’t even remember how many there were -Every time there was a new manager, there was a new direction -I redid the same project over and over like every year -Too many people from abroad given leadership roles and other roles that could be filled by Americans (who probably would do a much better job) -They kept trying to force us to operate the company like they do in Germany which obviously makes no sense whatsoever -Systems were outdated and hosted in Germany - a hot mess -Everything that we did had to be approved by the “International” HQ in Germany -They made so many poor decisions, which is crazy when you consider how long they’ve been around (leading to the closing of several stores) -To insult an injury, they literally lied to us about how well the company was doing at the end of 2022 and then laid off 200 employees 2 months later -People were quitting left and right and instead of doing something about it, they would just dump the work on the remaining employees
