Pros

Valuable working experience. I learnt to survive in every working environment... a few kind and hard working people that they will always be in my heart

Cons

Honestly I don't know where to start... Medieval working conditions.. not even close to a decent employer ..You do the work of 5 people and if you complain you are lazy..nothing was good enough for them .. I decided to leave lidl to study at another city and now I work for another company... at the beginning I wasn't sure the money was too good (in fact it could be better).. now I'm very happy with my new job...massive difference.. two words :they care.. I do one job I'm coming home ON TIME and I'm happy not devastated. In lidl they have no values.. nothing.. I'm sorry to say that cause i learnt a lot there but it's true..I could be writing for days about the blame culture and the destroyment of psycology and personality...but I will just give an advice "if you have other option, just leave, money shouldn't be a priority"

Pros

It is quite different in every branche but i have got kind colleagues

Cons

There could be better communication between other rayons, there will be a smaller gap between different branches. if a branche of an employee has a good idea for Lidl it would be nice to have a person who listen to your idea's and maybe report it directly to the main office. I think Lidl will grow through this step.

Plenty of responsibility, challenging, excellent long term prospects.

Must be very flexible to the needs of the business. Locationwise, hours, everything!
