Pros

Fair benefits, stable work environment. They do give you easy ways to try and move up be it into store managment or to the corporate environment.

Cons

Pay raises are yearly and capped at 3%. Many issues have to go through district managers and often takes far longer than it should. Store management tends to be overworked and under trained. Same goes for most other positions. While the job may be stable, as everyone must eat, hours are constantly going haywire and full time positions are severly limited. It's also near impossible to get fired. If you see that as a con or pro is up to you, however, this means that poor workers suck away time and money from employees who actually try to do their jobs correctly. In the time I've worked at Food Lion I have seen many good workers come and go because others drag the whole thing down. And for whatever reason, management seems to think that being hard on everyone is somehow going to help the one bad apple.

Pros

Weekly pay. Nice co-workers. Mostly nice customers.

Cons

Hardly got to shop any orders due to (1) there hardly being any and/or (2) a certain manager shopping ALL the orders instead of delegating some, as she should have. Dead times as casheirs was a major downside for me, personally. Despised them. Managers being stupid (some and sometimes)/micromanaging. CSM is not the best at her job (though she is mostly nice) and screws up schedules and other things. They can take away your hours out of nowhere. Newer people WILL get brought on with higher pay than you. Hate the company. Used to treat their workers a lot better, I hear. Give more benefits and bonus's and things. Now you get jack all.
