Pros

the pay and the benefits are great

Cons

They trained one way. I was trained at a training center in Charlotte NC. They talked a great game. But, in the end, all the training went out the door once the stores were opened. There was no consistency and favoritism ran rampant.

Pros

Decent Pay Good benefits for full time associates Paid for housing/accommodations during training New company, so there are opportunities for growth (don't count on it actually happening, though) Tasks are not necessarily difficult, you're just expected to take on amounts of tasks that just simply cannot be completed to their standards in a measly 5 hour shift.

Cons

Lack of Communication Work/life balance isn't actually there, despite what they tell you in training. Outdated technology and facilities in stores (Things are constantly breaking, malfunctioning or just outright not working) Denying breaks, while also claiming that it is "very important" to take all alotted breaks during your shift. Not allowing people to leave at their scheduled time. Basically, at this stage in the game, Lidl US is an HR nightmare, maybe someday they will figure things out but I won't be there to see it.

Pros

$15.00hr is it really worth it!

Cons

It would be nice if the labor Board would stand up for employee's rights when needed the most! I been around a lot of companies and all I have seen is them use people and spit them out like water...you can all try asking for help good luck to you! I been working for a company called lidl and they are fresh to the US While I have been there I have seen them use other employees to harass others so they don't have to get there hands dirty! I have also seen this company dig into peoples life's, true or not and go around to there doctors, schools and stir things up! I seen them short/ skimp pay checks to get people to quit. They don"t meet up with osha rules and regulations or Food Safety and the Law. If you like hit me up on facebook I have pictures! Anyways it would be nice to go back in the days where working hard and doing the right thing got you some where! Its not like I haven't tried, I hold there world record for the fastest picks in produce! But yet again they care nothing of that matter!
