Pros

Given the opportunity you can move up with food lion very quickly. Food Lion does try to promote from within more than hire externals.

Cons

Salary does not meet regional average. No training programs in place to work with new hires. Limited payroll budgets that get sliced to virtually nothing during th holiday season. Management that does not listen to their employees, even in meetings when we are all saying the same things every time.

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.
