I have had an overall great experience working a Hannaford.

Meat market sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, great work environment. Friendly atmosphere.

Cons

Training is good but it lacks. It seems like you are only trained enough to get the job done. I have worked in the meat department and the seafood department and each time I was only trained enough so I could get the job done when left alone. There is a sign in the seafood department that says " our seafood experts will gladly help you with recipe suggestions: etc. After working seafood for more than a year this was not true for me. I laughed everytime i read the sign lol. I barelt knew anything about fish.

It's a job

Deli associate

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hour potential management isn't micromanaging most of the time good starting pay in specialized depts (meat and deli specifically) it's not rocket science

Cons

small, inconsistent raises no full-time availability - LITERALLY no full-time. They don't want to pay for health insurance/benefits. the only chance of full-time is getting a management position. you can be working from anywhere between 4 in the morning and 11 at night (at my store at least) no guaranteed minimum hours - your managers can put you on for 4 hours if they feel like it, but to be fair, if you're a good worker that probably won't happen you likely can't live on your pay from here - you'll probably need another income

Summer Job for a high schooler can be only what you expect.

Pros

Supportive Staff, register makes a rewarding 'beep' noise when you scan items.

Cons

A lot of standing. Received a stern talking-to when I took a 29minute lunch instead of 30m. About a dollar above the minimum wage.
