      Pros

      1. Being a student and therefore being free over Summer, was able to pick up as many extra hours as I wanted. 2. Very good hourly rate of pay. 3. Opportunity for advancement.

      Cons

      1. Long hours, with very poor break allowance (20mins for over 6 hours work). 2. Largely independent work, so very little interaction with co-workers, leading to low communication between staff. 3. Under-staffed, so any inconveniences such as an employee turning up late or calling in sick increases working day drastically.

      Pros

      Worked for Lidl as a store manager for over 11 years. Like every other company, I had my moments of pain, but the rewards of being responsible for your own store, leading and developing a team around you are great. If your looking for an easy role..... then avoid, but if you are looking for a different challenge on a daily basis, strive under pressure and an ever changing environment, this is the place for you. Guaranteed job satisfaction.

      Cons

      The hours can be long, but only if you are unable to plan. The pressures are great with complete responsibility for your business, however the pressure only builds if you fail to adapt and move with the times.
