Food Lion Review

Pros

The profit sharing plan was one of the best in the industry at one time and gave many of their seasoned associates a nice retirement cushion.

Cons

As of 2010, Food Lion has ceased hiring full time associates until they meet their corporate goal of a 60/40 percent ratio of 60% part timers and 40% full timers. In addition to this, you can no longer step down to a lesser position if you are currently in a position you cannot handle or dislike, the only other alternative is to just quit.

Pros

You have friendly co-workers for the most part. The hours are usually flexible and you can trade shifts if you can't work on your scheduled hours.

Cons

The store is rather disorganized. The meats they sell are old. The managers have a low educational level. Management favors certain people.
