Pros

Easy job and you don't need any experience to get hired.

Cons

I worked at food lion for 3 1/2 years and was given numerous promotions yet never received a real raise. The largest raise I got was 15 cents an hour. Bottom line is what you get hired at is pretty much what you will make until you quit from frustration, this may just be my store/district but nobody that i worked with there was happy about being there.

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.
