Pros

Good people in the stores. Good retailer. Communication is very good. Good benefits. Good vacation program. The experience in the stores allows you to understand every aspect of retail, and Hannaford is a pretty good operator. Some people in working at retail as well as in the corporate office are truly nice people.

Cons

Advancement can be really slow. Career path not well defined. Low salary. Disconnect between main office and retail. Promotions depend on too many subjective factors. Growth opportunities are mostly in Maine. District Managers can sometimes slow down your career by not having clear ways to evaluate your performance.

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.
