Lidl reviews

- you're expected to excel and overachieve. Only those tapped by management move upward - almost too many new employees to constantly keep track of - no free coffee

I knew from day one I had made a mistake, the policies on paper are not what happens day to day. I was contracted for 48 hours per week but really did 60/70. Weird thing was you won't even get thanked for this kind of commitment just critised for any targets not achieved. Lower management positions are just glorified stored assistants in my opinion, Rarely get breaks and never see family except, do all the roles of a store assistant and more except you won't be paid hourly. Training was minimal and you are expected to achieve pretttt quickly,micro mangenement is intense with phone calls and visits from higher management each day. If you find yourself being abused by upper management regularly, forget about HR, they have like one employee HR contact per region who has no time to be listening to issues. WARNING: expect to work like a dog, be treated with no respect but paid well.
