      Terrible place to work

      Advertising project manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free fruit and veg offered to staff after purchasing assessed new suppliers

      Cons

      Bullying by management. When this was reported to a senior manager, the bully was always protected. I saw so many colleagues in tears in the bathrooms. Also, we were clearly told never to speak to people levels above us. I said hello to the managing director at the Christmas party. Simply saying that one word got me called into my managers office the following working day for a screaming fit!

      Lidl is not such a great place to work

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The colleagues were the best part of the jobs. However, the support from some of the managements was also good

      Cons

      Working hours were very bad as there were some very early and late shifts. Also the company is expecting from you to sweat a lot while working.

      Hard Work but Very Rewarding

      Assistant team manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The amount of responsibility placed in its employees and the opportunity for development leads to a very strong buy in to the Lidl brand, excellent managerial structure and support encourage progression and promotes self confidence. The correct amount of autonomy allows you to put your stamp on a Global brand.If you want to go to work and take it steady then this is not a job for you but if your looking for a job where time flies and thrive on responsibility then you've found your calling. They pay very well but expect value for their money. Understandable.

      Cons

      Training plans are quite ambiguous but you decide your path, you only get out what you put in. Hours are long and the allocated break times are Dickensian but time flies and so you rarely notice. No performance related pay rises, 1% incremental only with no sway.
