Business outlook
Pros
Good people in the stores. Good retailer. Communication is very good. Good benefits. Good vacation program. The experience in the stores allows you to understand every aspect of retail, and Hannaford is a pretty good operator. Some people in working at retail as well as in the corporate office are truly nice people.
Cons
Advancement can be really slow. Career path not well defined. Low salary. Disconnect between main office and retail. Promotions depend on too many subjective factors. Growth opportunities are mostly in Maine. District Managers can sometimes slow down your career by not having clear ways to evaluate your performance.
