Pros

Money is okay, it's profitable in Pittsburgh but good luck looking like a valuable employee anywhere else.

Cons

It's only locations are in PA and OH with a store or two in Maryland. Their HR is horrific. No moral or work ethic found in the coorporate offices. THey could care less about individual valuable team members that have been an asset to the company.

Pros

-Quarterly Raises -Large amount of cash rewards and incentives -Flexible Schedule -Paid Vacation and Personal days -Medical benefits for part time workers -10 percent discount on store brand products -Holiday pay -Christmas Day, New Years and New Years Eve the store usually closes early or is closed all together.

Cons

Working for Giant Eagle is not bad, it is the environment. A large number of people that come in are very hard to deal with. I work at a store in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. We are constantly having to arrest shoplifters, stop arguments between customers over nothing, and every week there's a new scam that we have to be made aware of. There is an extremely high turnover rate and because of this the front end workers that actually come to work have to work very hard to get customers in and out. During the busiest part of the day they only schedule 2 cashiers to work. This is just unacceptable during the first of the month when many welfare recipients receive their monthly allowance and rush the store at once. Management is not involved at all except when it comes to arranging displays around the store for weekly promotions. When they do get involved, they tend to focus on the wrong things like the windows being cleaned every 2 weeks instead of once every month. If you are good at working with the general public, then this is the job for you. -You spend Holidays slaving away to make sure customers get home to their families while you leave work so exhausted that you can't enjoy your own.
