Pros

The amount of responsibility placed in its employees and the opportunity for development leads to a very strong buy in to the Lidl brand, excellent managerial structure and support encourage progression and promotes self confidence. The correct amount of autonomy allows you to put your stamp on a Global brand.If you want to go to work and take it steady then this is not a job for you but if your looking for a job where time flies and thrive on responsibility then you've found your calling. They pay very well but expect value for their money. Understandable.

Cons

Training plans are quite ambiguous but you decide your path, you only get out what you put in. Hours are long and the allocated break times are Dickensian but time flies and so you rarely notice. No performance related pay rises, 1% incremental only with no sway.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
