Lidl reviews

Actual pay per hour if you ever have the guts to work it out is abysmal. Was told all the right things at interview and induction by the people who don't work in store. Mandatory breaks, take your time back the next day, 11 hour break between shifts. All bull when you actually get in store when your store manager gives you no sympathy because "I used to work 7am to 10pm every day mate..!" Taking this job was one of my worst decisions as I now feel depressed all the time.

Too much is expected in the time given. Speed is priority and not quality. Rules are created that assistant managers and managers are themselves unable to live up to. Managers don't work full hours and hand over their tasks to assistant managers who then hand it over to the rest to finish over their regular tasks within the same amount of time. I have been given several tasks with out training. And when I asked for help they make excuses for not training. And when I am not able to perform those tasks to a standard of one who had been working their for years(I was working their for only a month), then I am the butt of everyone's jokes. A family member died and I was not allowed to in home because the 'big guys' were coming to visit. I had diarrhoea and was not allowed to go home. I landed in hospital because of a blood blog in the brain and stress and I was accused of pretending even though the hospital gave the papers of proof. Even though it is a grocery store they will not supply coffee for their staff. Manager had provided coffee when I started and the 'big guys' threw it into the trash because they don't want to pay for it. There are never enough staff. There are so much more to say but I think this gives a pretty good idea.
