Working as a Graduate manager for Lidl I was told that I would be on a well rounded three part training course. The reality was the opposite the hours are dreadful starting at 4am in the morning and working 12 hour or 13 hours. Then tasks were physically exhausting and I ended up with back problems as a consequence. Everything is done under an unrealistic time pressure and if this time frame isn’t met the management are verbally abusive. Bullying was carried out daily. Managers would humiliate staff. The hours are exhausting and the way the shifts are you never get two consecutive days off. Don’t work here the graduate scheme is a scam!
