Pros

This is a great part-time job for those that want to make some pocket money or work experience. It's way better than working in fast-food. Customers won't likely test your patience in this department. You will have flexible work schedule hours and days. The stress is very low in this department! Food Lion is known for having a family-like environment with it's employees.

Cons

The only discount you get are what customers can get with their MVP card and a free shirt for if you last longer than 90 days. Most people who work with Food Lion don't make enough money to live (a) outside of parent's home, (b) without government assistance, or (c) in debt. (This includes full-time employees) If you network well, you can possibly work in Delhaize America or Food Lion's distribution center. In every way possible, Food Lion does whatever it can to save money...

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.
