Vantaggi
You are making a big impact on more than just one small department or one store. There is a lot of opportunity in other areas to succeed. You do have to put in hard work, but it is there. Benefits and pay are great Senior leadership is mostly European right now because they have Lidl experience and will be the ones to bring the culture over to the US and keep a consistent Lidl brand. It is a strategic decision that they plan on changing in the future by promoting US managers once they finish training. Most American employees have been with the company for less than a year, but the future opportunity is available to them. Most people from the board went through the same track that the American managers are going through now aside from a few American executives that they hired externally that are already on the board. Board members/Executives/even the CEO check in on managers to communicate with them and listen to them.
Svantaggi
You can read the other reviews and see how difficult it can be to adjust to a culture that demands hard work. If a business is going to succeed, it needs to use efficient people. Really it is on you whether you can complete your work in a given amount of time or not. HR does sometimes have a lack of detail. Mistakes with names, appointments, emails can become ubiquitous which creates IT issues with email addresses, paycheck/W2 issues, etc.
