Pros

Food Lion is a Company that seems to be struggling out of a dire financial situation. Management and District Management appreciate a work that exceeds their basic requirements. They just are not willing to financially compensate the worker for their exceptional performance due to their so called financial constraints

Cons

Its like any job in the grocery business. Food Lion will try to squeeze more and even more production out of an employ without any additional compensation. Then comes the taking of half of our Christmas bonus. Things are severely clamped down at this company at this time and it drives the few dedicated employees left to consider going elsewhere.

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.
