Pros

If you don't gain anything else you'll at least learn how to deal with customers. It's also a great way to see how high and mighty people can act if given just a bit of power.

Cons

This is the last place I would tell anyone to apply for at the moment. Delhaize has become so enamored with cutting out another penny that they are running the stores and employees dry. Morale is below the floor and everything that made Food Lion worth working at has been either cut completely out or dropped to such a small amount that it's almost a joke. Management is constantly being shuffled about and every one above the store level is only looking to cover their back sides incase someone comes along looking to cut them off as well. All it has led to is a lot of fools running about acting like kings. Unless changes are made to bring the focus back to the store level(customer service levels and employee compensation) then this company will never regain its former position as a market leader.

Pros

The best reasons are no longer valid with the ecomomy being the way it is. The company had to adjust and they took away some of the benifits we had.

Cons

In my district, if you are told to go to another store to work, you dont have choice. You either go or dont have a job.

Pros

any time off you need you usually get, a few friendly customers, maybe you will run into a cool co-worker here and there.

Cons

store management tends to be lazy and not help employees when needed, if they even know what they're doing, constant penny pinching on employee pay, hours are constantly being cut, what few promotions are given are usually given to butt kissers, not butt busters, high employee turnover rate, bad management leads to low morale among employees leading to low enthusiasm around customers.
