        I have been working at Lidl part-time for more than 8 years

        Pros

        no problem with getting to work, parking spaces. some activities/ family events for employees

        Cons

        you really have to be flexible. working for shops mean working on weekends, bank holiday... No or very little Christmas bonus.

        Advice to Management

        I know the moto is we save on bills so customers save on the tills but i think by adding a few more working hours into each store would enable staff to engage more with the customers. Which in turn I believe would generate more revenue going in the long run because a common complaint i recieved from customers was that there was never any staff on the floor and if there was they they came across that they were too busy.

        I worked at Lidl full-time

        Pros

        Great company to gain a good work ethic. very fast paced, day flew as you were so busy. Development is a big focus. Nice office. Great to develop a thick skin.

        Cons

        Always fighting with other Departments to get the smallest of things achieved. Massive focus on Hierarchy. Company is Full of "yes" people and if you go against the grain as in try change things for the better or are any way negative and honest you do not fit in and therefore "dont fit the company".

        Advice to Management

        Be open to new ideas. Just because your "Higher" management does not agree with a suggestion doesn't mean you may pee down on people.
