Pros

I truly feel Lidl has great potential, the pay is very decent, the exposure is uncharted, technologically advanced, flex work hours, and the environment is fresh!

Cons

As a part of the purchasing dept it's one of thee most cut throats and dog eat dog situations you will ever enter. Promotions are based off of who can bark the loudest vs. actual merit and work ethic. Which sucks, cause they have great analyst that constantly get overlooked while new comers jump to the front of the line. I worked really closely with QA and they have the blind leading the blind!! I can't even count how many delays were encountered due to their sensory teams leadership!
