Bottom of the barrell employment - Recensione dipendente - Customer Assistant presso Lidl

Worked at one of the busiest stores in the country for several years, at the bottom of the food chain so to speak. The flexibility & workload required from this company is closer to slave labour than any legitimate form of work. Zero consideration for the human aspect of their employees, a lot of lip service but ignored at ground level. Management absolve themselves through a combination of lying, cheating and borderline abuse of their staff to keep things ticking over day to day. They make all kinds of mistakes and will never admit to their errors, try to shuffle the workload onto the hardest workers instead of improving the workforce as a whole (who eventually quit). An absolute shambles. Reading the other reviews here this seems to be systemic and you will seldom meet a manager in this company who is a respectable person with any sort of values. Which is a shame, because there are a lot of hard workers mistreated and undoubtedly suffering from some form of Stockholm Syndrome. 10% extra pay over other retail jobs in return for 500% extra workload and unlimited flexibility on your end. It's a terrible deal once that hits home and nobody in their right mind would want to do it for any length of time.
