4o year associate- Things aren't going well with Thunder.

Department manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

For a Supermarket-they are pretty good for long-time associates, if you are part time or a newer full timer-the benefits are still okay, but not as good-older associates are "grandfathered" is several policys that are beneficial to us long termers, but I'm not sure it's entirely fair to newer hires.

Cons

Work/Life balance. I am a department manager and under our new initiative "Thunder", we are to be more friendly with customers, have better prices and better selection. Well, what is actually happening is that the higher ups have introduced several very good programs but are failing to support them with the labor dollars they need to be successful. James McCann might have a very good idea with Thunder....but he has to loosen up the purse strings to ensure us folks at store level can implement his vision. The problem with our company is that the corporate office probably is full of folks covering their buttholes and being "yes men/woman. Here's a tip Mr. McCann, come visit a few stores by yourself at different times of the day and night. Don't dress up in a suit and tie, just wear casual clothes. You aren't going to like what you see. I'm sure you've been in several of our higher end competitors stores? I'm betting most of our competitors spend more money on labor and actually care about their employees instead of trying to work them to death to hit an unrealistic labor percentage. I'm glad I have less then 10 years left until retire.....I just hope I can survive it.

RUN. AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM GIANT FOOD STORES

Deli associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people to work with

Cons

*Scheduling is weekly (posted every Thursday for the next one week) * If someone calls off or quits don’t expect coverage (expect to handle the work of 2-3 people alone) * management doesn’t care and tells you to “buck up because we don’t have enough bodies” * hr manipulates you to stay because there “aren’t enough bodies, and finding a job is tough nowadays” * you’re expected to close the deli exactly when you’re supposed to be off the clock * managers keep piling on work on top of the work you already have to do alone * there is no gratitude from management for going above and beyond * if you work alone for 8 hours your breaks are nonexistent * if you have mental health problems, they don’t care as long as you come into work and do what you’re told. This place is not work/ life balanced, has expected more from me (a crippled employee) being paid $13 an hour as a PART TIME deli associate giving me 38-40 hours a week, yelling at me when I call off (2x because I was VOMITING) my body has deteriorated 100 fold since I started this job in APRIL. It is AUGUST. 4 months. OH AND IF YOU PUT IN YOUR AVAILABILITY THAT ISNT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT MOST TIMES BECAUSE “we’re understaffed”. That seems like a you problem “deli manager”

Recommend

Pros

They offer associates more discounts

Cons

They hire new people and cut hours of employees that had been there a year or longer. my hours can go 24 hours one week to 15 the next. The instability makes employees jump ship.
