      Pros

      Good steady work if you are available to work any time of day or night and ALL weekends and holidays. Neat interaction with people (customers) of all attitudes Great to poor Time never drags (you always have more to do than time to do it in) and you never get bored Clean place to work

      Cons

      Advancement seems to be limited to medium middle magement Medium to low pay, small to no pay raises, employee give backs in pay and benefit's (for the good of the company) Having to work every weekend and holiday if you want hours Questionable upper managment direction Having to hawk one or more items to everyone who comes in the door (the customers really enjoy hearing do you want to buy a chocolate covered cherry every time they check out HA)

      Pros and Cons of working at Food Lion

      Pros

      Food Lion is a decent place to work, everyone will always need to buy groceries and such, so working at Food Lion means I will have a job even when all of the video game stores go out of business. Food Lion is conveniently set up. For the most part anyone can find anything they need with ease, if they can't find what they are looking for there is always someone who can help them find the items they are needing. At Food Lion there is always some item on sale, if you have an MVP card then you will get the item on sale, if you don't you can apply for one and it takes maybe 2 mintues of your time. If you are just visiting and don't currently live in a city that has a Food Lion we can and will use of store card for you. Most of the employee's are always willing to offer help and we'll always treat you with courtesy and respect. Food Lion always has a manager on duty who is more than willing to help our customers with any needs they have. I live in a small town so most of us know our customers by name, if not by name then by, at least, face. We recognize the people that come in and most times will stand and have a conversation with you if we are not busy.

      Cons

      Food Lion managers always treat the customers with respect. But the managers at the store I work at do not treat the employees with very much respect at all. I have been working for Food Lion for almost 2 years, I've been promised an office position many times, but every time a position opens they put someone less experienced than myself in the office. When I ask a manager why I am not being put in office or if there is a problem with the way I do my work that is preventing me from going into office I am told no. But a couple days later I hear from another employee that a manager has a problem with something I do. The managers should be willing to tell the employees what they are doing incorrectly so we can correct our problem. We can't fix something if we don't know what we are doing wrong. And not fixing whatever problem we may have is only hindering our ability to go places in our careers.
