Giant Eagle reviews

There are no downside here

-Staring at a computer all day. We are not given (or advised to get) any blue light filters for the computer screens or ways to reduce eye strain. -Work in close quarters to others, your desk is a half-cubicle. -Old, outdated office chairs/desks and computer equipment. -Incredibly harsh Sick Day policy. You are given 5 Days per YEAR to use to call off, after those 5 days are used you begin to get infractions, write-ups and eventually fired. You are punished for getting sick so if you are prone to sickness avoid this place. This policy also puts other team members in danger of falling ill because if you don't have any time left and don't want to lose your job you have to work while sick. -They tell you everything you're doing wrong without giving you any path to improvement. -Coordinators, Team Leads, HR do not reply to you via email, ever, this is probably so nothing is in writing. -Little to no advancement. Despite being a large chain there's nowhere for you to go besides another department and every department has different hours. -Mid year/yearly reviews seem to have little bearing on merit and is one of those places that score you and "no one ever gets a 5." -Forced to use Giant Eagle pharmacies for prescription benefits. -Giant Eagle steals time. No overtime unless it's authorized so any time after the time you are supposed to punch out is changed to the proper punch out time. -If you are a minute late punching in from break Giant Eagle will make sure to dock you that time.
