    Shift manager at Lidl, February 2025

  • Best thing

    Nothing

    Worst thing

    Don't get shift variations, the same people do the same shifts all the time. No matter how long your shift is, you only get 1 break or no breaks, get threatened by customers, managers are unapproachable, a lot of favouritism.
