Pros

People are wonderful - feels like a family. Companies recruit you bc they know food lion corp employees work hard. Great work life balance.

Cons

Very few upper level jobs available. No room for career advancement. The company puts zero focus on growing their employees and training. You will do the job of at least two to three people.

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
