A decent wage, very fast paced sometimes
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedDecent management but stressed too as it can be very busy at times, the busier the shop the more hours can be given to staff so there are lots of opportunities to work extra in busy shops.
Pros
Loads of extra hours if busy shop
Cons
long hours, always tired but at least paid well if you do extra work

It's all down to the managers
Customer Assistant (Former Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 17 May 2022
You'll have certain managers on for the day that really care about the staff and there's great co-operation back and forth to which you're happy to work for the company and help them out too Then there are soul sucking unqualified bullies with no leadership capabilities that are disrespectful, screaming, aggressive and morale breaking who only care about covering themselves Once again it's all down to the managers. You can land a spot and love it or it can end up as misery

Hate here
Order Picker (Former Employee) - Newbridge, County Kildare - 16 May 2022
Bad place to work for. Would not recommend anyone to work in this company. Every manager in this company are on a ego trip. They need to listen to their staff and stop being so obnoxious. They are not the only ones in that company that are having a stressful day. They make employees work so hard in that company as if it was a concentration camp. Their staff are run off their feed running around doing picks, and I mean it can get so stressful at times. It gets so bad that the managers will keep employees in work as long as they can, just to pick the goods! Even if your are burnt out and even though you are trying to clock-out on time. They will Force you to stay behind! By threatening you that you will lose your job if you don’t stay behind and pick the last remaining goods. They just don’t care as long as you keep the paste up and pick over 5000 a day or even more. Which is a lot. Because they are on a big Commission if they get the goods out on time and get so many out on a day!

Very toxic work environment that begins from management
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Dungarvan, County Waterford - 11 May 2022
I would strongly advise to avoid unless no other opportunities are available. Wages on paper are OK but hours can and often do drop below equivalent unemployment benefit so you have to save when hrs are good. Training is non existent your basically expected to learn by yourself on the fly.Management are by far the worst I've experienced in my 40yrs highly unprofessional and create a toxic bullying environment

Goodbye self respect.
Customer Assistant (Former Employee) - Listowel, County Kerry - 22 April 2022
Toxic company and culture. Good money but most days you leave the place just feeling disrespected and unmotivated. Feedback in this company amounts to a mailbox with a paper shredder inside. HR is only there to cover management's backs as they carry on with an outdated management style of destroying morale and intimidation tactics. Company will never evolve.

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.

Terrible management
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Waterford city, County Waterford - 23 February 2022
Company filled with nepotism with extremely unrealistic expectations from the workers. The pay is good for retail,but the hours are low especialy if you are not good with the countless mini klans among workers. The customers are always rude so are the managers. Overall a toxic environment. Would not reccomend unless you have no other choice.
Pros
Pay per hour
Cons
Literaly everything else

Jobs at Lidl
Expect to much from the individuals that are working there.
Picker (Former Employee) - Lidl RDC Newbridge - 13 February 2022
It has to be by far the worse place I have ever worked. The managers do not give a care about your well being. All they want is production, fast pace, no proper breaks, get Complaints from your DLM for not picking up the pace even if you getting the products out on time! I was doing over 2500 picks a day and this wasn’t sufficient for them. They just want more and more out of you. They just can not hold employees because of the high tensity of pressure you get from your “DLM” as they call themselves. It’s a disgrace.
Pros
None
Cons
As mentioned above

Fun work place, good pay and great company to work for
Cash assistant (Current Employee) - Ardree - 28 January 2022
Having come from hospitality, I love working and being part of the lidl team. I find it a great company to work for. Yes it is hard work and some may find hours antisocial but coming from the hospitality industry, I love the hours. Pay is great. Management are brilliant. You dont just feel like a number you are part of a team.
Pros
Pay
Cons
None

Very intense stressful and hectic
Baker (Former Employee) - County Dublin - 14 January 2022
Very intense stressful hectic place to work for, the more you do the more you'll be asked to do, last min beck and call kind of job, roster could be done for a week ahead only, no one cares if you sick or tiered, you might work 6 days in a row from Thu to Tue from 4am which is technically two different weeks but still 6 days in a row. Team is amazing though super friendly and helpful but management..... they don't give a sh.... you are just a number, image and profit comes before people it's all about.... We Are Lidl.... and yes they pay more than other retail would but still it's not worth it, to break you back. You have to watch your pay roll as "accidental errors" might happen ... Try to work on a bakery with freezer being stocked up and jammed up all the way to the ceiling with all frozen items like boxes full of fish chips ice cream and frozen bread, try to carry all heavy boxes with bread and cookies that are 7kg and more lifting over your head in and out of the freezer doing bakery on your own with no one to help most of the time, try to bake and bag all bread in 3 hours ... that's where you trully test your stamina.
Pros
Flexible hours
Cons
Extremely difficult intense place to work for

Paid well for basic work on the floor, management is more stressful but the salary exceeds what other retailers pay for similar work. Overall a great company to work for.
