Lidl Employee ReviewHard work for a great salary
Deputy Store Manager (Former Employee) - IE - 28 August 2018
Lidl is a great place if you are passionate about retail and want to progress. If you are looking for an easy job do not apply here. They run an extremely lean operation meaning staff are expected to be as productive as possible and you will always be busy. Hours are long and unless you are on a management salary hours are not guaranteed above your contract hours which can start from 10 hours per week. Work life balance here is quite bad.
Pros
great pay and benefits
Cons
long, unsociable hours.

Tough work
Deputy Store Manager (Current Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 30 May 2022
I've worked in discount retail managemet for years and although lidl has a great system in place its hard to follow it when you're not given the right tools to do your job. Overall if you can deal with stress and a high pressure job you can deal with lidl manager jobs, if multitasking, delegating tasks or hitting very tight targets is tough for you avoid it at all costs.

Stressful
DEPUTY MANAGER (Former Employee) - Wexford, County Wexford - 11 March 2022
Too much work all of the time with not enough staff. Management don’t get proper breaks and have to work well over rostered hours to get the work done.
