Pros

Some co-workers are fantastic to work with. Upper management in my store is also pretty good and fun to be around.

Cons

A lot of work for no actual pay off. Only 3-4 of us in a department of 10+ care about the work and do the work, yet raises never reflect this. At most the difference between someone who slacks and someone who carries the workload is 10-20 cents. On top of that, leads who have been at hannafords for years are making the same pay as leads getting hired right now. Some of us put 4-8 years into the company and have no raises to show for it since people walking through the door are getting paid the exact same if they are hired into a lead position (not difficult to get when almost nobody is applying). It makes no sense for someone who has worked here for 8 years to be making the same as a new hire, especially when that person has contributed to the departments success over the years heavily.

Pros

you might get a manager who will allow flexible scheduling, and accommodations for disability.

Cons

You will probably be ignored when requesting accommodations for a disability. You will be treated like garbage by customers, coworkers, and management. They do not appreciate your hard work, the need to balance work and life. They will not explain anything or properly train you. They do not pay well and mess up your "benefits". They are a hostile workplace.
