Treated like a robot, worked till you're on the scrapheap - Store Assistant Lidl Employee Review

Expected to work likes machine all day, everyday. Expected to take a maximum of 30 minutes break, regardless of how long your shift is. 14.5 hour shifts are not common. The harder you work, the more they expect from you. No bonus or overtime rates for bank holidays or even night shifts. Rotas often changed without notice. Often called in on your days off. Always short staffed. No staff discount scheme. Very unorganised management system from head office and rdc, resulting in no common sense in the way they do things. Monthly meetings which you have to attend even if it's your day off. Unrealistic work targets - 6ft high euro pallet is expected to be worked in 20 minutes (and your also expected to answer till bells whilst doing this!) New starters are given very little training and just stuck on till. Company has no regard for working time regulation laws. Very poor work/life balance resulting in many employees suffering from bad health, stress and depression.
