Pros

the wages are very good for the retail sector and the number of stores means you should find a store close to were you live.

Cons

47.5 hour a week minimum. Constantly audited (weekly). Staffing levels very tight - lidl is about productivity ( pounds per man hours used) High stress. They are only interested in 'new' to the market managers.....its a burn out job.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
