Pros
- They promote from within - Great exposure to the world's largest case study of how not to do things - If you're looking for a new job, Lidl is a great networking opportunity of like-minded individuals also looking for new jobs - Good pay & benefits for people with little or no experience - Great background material for aspiring sit-com writers - Many of your colleagues will be absolutely outstanding, great people ground down by horrible management practices and the ceaseless promotion of incompetent people - Most of the current Europeans in Real Estate/Construction are highly talented, dedicated and knowledgable though sometimes lack context and genuine appreciation for the US - Working at Lidl is like drinking kombucha or having a colonic: when it's over, you'll feel amazing
Cons
- They only promote from within - Almost guaranteed your boss will know less than you and be threatened by that, but be too inexperienced to leverage your talents - Check your dignity at the door, you will be humiliated in front of external parties, constantly - Never have I been so embarrassed to tell people where I work - Severely and systemically under-resourced - If you work in real estate, make sure to bring your crayons, you'll be needing them
