Awful.

Pros

Some of the people I worked at my Delhaize branch with are nice, I guess.

Cons

The policies are rediculous. Especially the one where if you get sick or something happens and you have to leave once you've already worked over half your shift, it counts as a tardy. I suffer from chronic migraines and while I do my best to prevent it (stay hydrated, take my medicine) they are not inevitable. When I do get a migraine it's pretty much a promise I will throw up (ibuprofen and other painkillers don't work on it), and it has happened at work. This ultimately ended in me getting sent home, and both times counted as tardies. I was reprimanded for these tardies because I got sick. Reprimanded for something I couldn't control. This policy is rediculous and needs to be revised or removed.

Pros

The people in middle management are overall great to work with. i enjoyed my teams at the middle-management level. There are some very caring, loyal people in the company, but most are finishing up before retirement. The new people officer seems to be trying to implement better rewards/recognition.

Cons

Everything else. Senior management gets very, very involved in minor details which translates to a lot of rework when they are disconnected from the core of the business. The culture is overall stressed out and negative. Young and/or educated people won't last long. Senior management is focused on their bonuses and not on the overall best interest of the customer and business.

Pros

Overall is a very pleasant working atmosphere, benefits are very good but insurance is somewhat convoluted to understand. Programs are in place to educate employees, but seem to be counter intuitive to work schedule.

Cons

Company spends mass resources on CRM, but ignores store associates who have the greatest contact with customers. It is very difficult to advance in the buddy system within the company. There is more of a revolving door syndrome than advancement. Company does not provide employment incentives for continuing education.
