Pros

Very easy to apply and get hired

Cons

Hard working and dedicated employees are not rewarded when working for Giant Eagle. This company doesn't believe in rewarding employees with anything other then a weekly pay check. And the pay is well below all other companies in the same industry. All workers are given the same pay raise if you are a hard worker or a lazy worker. Employees who choose to apply for a salaried management position are treated the same way. You will be overworked and under pay. Expect to work 6 and 7 days a week and receive nothing extra in return. Not even a "Thank You". When it comes to getting a raise while in a salaried position the company will give you every reason they can think of not to give you a raise. For the last 20 plus years Giant Eagle has based it's company on low wages for employees and it is starting to catch up to them

Pros

Generally a good group of people. Work itself isn't terribly hard. Insurance is nice however, the pay is poverty wages,

Cons

Pay is called "competitive" It's competitive in the sense they pay dollars less than their competitors. You will be working solo mostly. There is zero payoff for doing a good job. Raises exist once a year set by union. These raises do not keep up with inflation. ALL PRODUCTS ARE 15-30% more expensive than other stores. Almost no one can afford to shop here that works here. If they do shop here they are paying between 50 cents to dollars more per item. The store is literally ripping off customers and workers. Work is do'able and can be completed if you bust your butt for a bit. The pay off? None. There's no raise, no bonus, they don't remember it for future raises. Working full time and getting between 370 and 500 a week is not livable. They talk about community helping which they do however its the cheapest way to pretend to care vs paying people who work there in the community more so there would be LESS people in need, No sense of purpose.
