Rewarding salary/wages but you need to commit
Customer Assistant TRP (Former Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 20 May 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedYou need to have a strong backbone to work in Lidl as it can get stressful easily. This job will help you mature and realise your potential. The hours can be long but what you give is what you get. They can be very forgiving with needed days off or shift changes but you also need to hold up your end of the deal.
Pros
Great salary and flexibility
Cons
Long hours and short staffing

A decent wage, very fast paced sometimes
Decent 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

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.

Fun workplace but not worth the hustle.
Costumer Assistant (Former Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 9 March 2022
I liked working there, but you need to like long hours, I would not recommend it to a friend, but if you really need a job then they pay not that bad.

Fast paced, heavy lifting
Warehouse Operative (Current Employee) - Mullingar, County Westmeath - 7 March 2022
Very good if long hours are needed but monthly pay is the worst part about it. I would recommend it as a long term job but make sure you have a good savings scheme.
Pros
Lots of overtime available
Cons
Monthly pay

Fast paced
Customer Assistant (Current Employee) - Glenageary, County Dublin - 28 February 2022
You really earn that extra few quid an hour. Once you get used to the fast paced environment, and accept that each day will be all go the whoole time, you will learn to enjoy it and make the most out of the benefits.

Jobs at Lidl
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

Very fast faced
Cashier/Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Dundalk, County Louth - 22 January 2022
Very fast place to work, not much of a work culture, feel like you work alone as you don’t ever talk to anyone, the hours are long and hard at times, but management are nice and will give you time off for occasions when you need it
Pros
More than minimum pay
Cons
Long hours, monthly pay

Intense and long hours
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Dublin - 9 January 2022
Not for the faint hearted, early morning starts, very long hours and you're gonna be getting a phone call on your day off to come in or help another store. Play ball with them and you could potentially be rewarded but you will have to stick with the company for a long time til you see any benefits.
Pros
Best paying retailer
Cons
Long hours, never a weekend off, sometimes work 9-13 days in a row

Is ok
Duty Manager (Current Employee) - IE - 5 January 2022
Ok place to work, all depends which RDC you work for. Xmass €50 Lidl gift card bonus is a joke. 2 month's xmass songs nonstop, drives staff crazy. Depends on your store Manager - you might forget about weekend's. Plan your days of month in advance
Pros
Good pay, friendly staff
Cons
Xmass songs for 2 month's nonstop. Takes to long to fix a issues with the building

Good team work
Customer Assistant (Current Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 16 December 2021
Kind of stressful and a lot of customers are rude. Also a lot of stealing and robbing in shop sometimes. It’s good money for retail industry but not a good for permanent job for me. Head office always try to cut your hours and don’t know how busy is the shop and we spend a lot of time of catching shoplifting and crazy customers.
Pros
Not too bad pay and nice coworkers
Cons
Long hour
