Pros

Customer Service is important to Giant, and they work hard at it. They do a nice job keeping the stores modern and appea;ing

Cons

Giant expects managers at all to sacrifice their personal lives as a matter of routine. Everything is always an emergency, and they often fail to use a common sense approach to solving problems. When I asked for the day off to help my wife deliver our first child, my District Manager responded with " who is having the baby, you or your wife?"

Giant Store # 300 Nice work team but poor management and low morale

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The team was nice and the customers were friendly.

Cons

The management are inconsistent in their employment practices. They target certain employees and will at some point be in legal trouble based on how they treat people. They have no leadership skills like communication and clarity. The store manager, assistant and HR needs to be retrained. The morale is low and there is constant confusion. Leaders should be the model in creating an inclusive culture.
