Pros

Pay and benefits are good.

Cons

Much like the Trump Administration, Lidl is a place of nepotism, narcissism, and incompetence. HQ specifically has the highest employee turnover of any retailer I've seen. Executive Board members leave for "personal reasons" almost monthly and they've been through 3 CEOs in 4 years. . Lidl's upper management/"leadership" is composed almost entirely of white, European men. All of whom have connections with each other or to the International HQ in some way. To say it's an "old boys club" would be an understatement. If you are looking for diversity, this is the LAST place to go. If you are looking for career growth you must be white, male and European. Most of the employees have zero experience and are in the US for vacations and Green Cards. I am sure the PR team will post some fake reviews after this one to falsely inflate the overall company rating. Wait for it...

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.
