Lidl reviews

I wouldn't recommend working here, and having seen their cleaning practices I definitely wouldn't recommend shopping here. I was told to use the same mop for the employee toilets and the store. I was told to use the same cleaning cloths for the employee toilets, the bakery, and the meat section. I wasn't given any gloves for cleaning, was expected to have bare hands while using chemicals, cleaning toilets etc. I was told to use the Hako (big, industrial cleaning machine) in the store without any training - this could have been really dangerous, you could seriously harm someone if you knocked into them with this thing. Some of the staff were friendly but some were bullies - one refused to learn my name and referred to me as 'the girl' the whole time I was there. The atmosphere among staff was really bad. 5 mins into my first shift there was an attempted stabbing as a staff member tried to stop a shoplifter. I went to see if she was ok and she shrugged me off, saying this was 'normal'.

you'll work significantly more hours than your contract managers and assistant managers are overworked you can be asked to sit on the till for an entire 10 hour shift work life balance is horrible, productivity expectations are unrealistic which is only a problem if the manager doesn't like you
