An absolute disgrace of a workplace

Pros

Good pay Good colleagues (if lucky)

Cons

No respect for your private life and demands that you're available at all hours and to cover any missing shifts No compensation for overtime (did 80+ hours one week and got nothing for it except a pat on the back) Horrible district manager who would treat everyone like robots (sighed and complained about having to fix the schedule because one employee had to go off because of a death in the family) Constant bullying and guilttrip when people didn't want to work more overtime. Constant understaffing Horrible upper management No clear goal with routines changing every week because of poor communication. There's so much more to write, but if you have a soul and value your private life... Avoid working at Lidl with everything you've got.

Pros

Decent pay and a staff discount

Cons

Head office won't ever put more staff on that could help get the store ready to the standard they want it at. They want staff out at a certain time for the close so they don't have to pay extra which, again, could be sorted out with extra staff on each shift.
