Pros

Great colleagues, excellent benefits, fun company events, and free groceries from the buying department. There are chances to grow here if you have an okay manager BUT that's rare Pay is good Promotions are for the inner-circle Travel all over Europe

Cons

You have a lot of " leaders" making money and hoping that they will stick up for their departments ( constituents) but everyone ends up getting thrown under the bus. I can't be sure if this is due to immature management, scape-goating, leadership really thinking that the workers in their departments are really to blame or if everyone is just afraid to accept personal responsibility. Maybe all the above? The worst part about Lidl is that they have so much potential to uber-successful but they are more concerned about " having power" and their own egos that they are tanking this would be great company.

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.
