Pros
Hannaford generally has plenty of hours to go around unless you are in a seasonal store, as I was. It is NOT the place to go if you are looking for rapid advancement and career growth. As with most retail employers you will encounter what we like to call, "lifers". It is these types of employees that generally get the promotions, and if you are not a "lifer" you can expect to be in the same position for years.
Cons
Hannaford's training varies so much its astounding. Training is usually custom to the trainer, and not per "Standard Practice". Standard Practice is the employee's reference on policies and practices regardless of department, and when it is not followed there is rarely any accountability. Not to mention, the organization structure is SO tall that your ideas can only go as far as the Store Manager, and after that point you should expect that they will never be acted on or passed up the chain of command.
