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

As a cashier you get to know the weekly sales and good deals on food. The job was relatively flexible and extra hours were often available.

Cons

The management was poor and employees were not recognized for their hard work. Customers were often unpleasant, and the overall atmosphere was not good. There's a high turnover rate, so new employees needed to be trained every few months.
