Pros

I like working at Lidl its easy and everyone I work with are nice people and I get along with them well. The pay is good.

Cons

Lidl do this thing called banked hours and if your manager doesn't give you your contracted hours then you get paid for your contract that month and they take them back off you the next month. My area manager didn't put my paternity form through so the next month I worked 140 hours and only received £350 because he didn't check his box. They took ages to get me my money back and thats why I'm leaving them as I was left with nothing that month and a family to feed.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
