Pros

Co-Workers are friendly, Work isn't particularly hard, Decent pay.

Cons

Management in Hannaford is the main reason Hannaford is such an unpleasant place to work. They spend most of their time wandering around, doing things that don't need to be done, or upstairs working on "paper work." They take longer lunches, and then act like perfect little worker bees when someone from corporate shows up. Management is very fake at Hannaford, and will even go as far as lying to you to cover their own ass. But, there is no use in arguing with them as you live in fear of being fired, as Hannaford makes it very clear that you are a number to them... not a person. They could replace you easily. MORE CONS Deliberate 5 hour and 45 minute shift to avoid giving you a lunch. Rude customers. Customers only give bad reviews about you, NEVER good ones so when its time for your review you'll be bombarded with all the complaints you've had against you. VERY easy to get in trouble. I got was complained at the other day for using the bathroom twice in the first two hours of my shift.

Pros

In my location at this point the management is very good at passing along workers who are unkind and have bad attitudes.

Cons

Currently, the most difficult part would be the dealing with people who are trying to scam us.
