Pros

Our customers are great. I really enjoy working with my fellow associates. It's a pay check. People have to eat.

Cons

Very little respect from store management. Even less respect from upper management. Our manager is a morale killer. The best solution for struggling associates seems to be " work harder", or "move faster". Never enough help in the store. After 15 months of employment, when i look at my career, all I see is a trail of broken promises and lies. Respect for the individual, Food Lion does not understand that concept. Very low pay, even for over qualified applicants. Really respect and care for the customers, and stop giving them lip service. I've watched our dept. managers get hammered over things they cannot control. Raises??????? LOL. Training????LMAO. The one thing our manager does do well is waste my time. Also she should hold herself to the same standards she tries to hold everyone else to. Our manager needs to review our company's attendance policies and apply them to herself.

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
