      Frustrating, unsympathetic and unethical company

      Pros

      The people I work with that fight everyday along side me.

      Cons

      FL wants their employees to do a 40 hour work week in 27 hours. They ask us to break company policy (like working off the clock) continuously. Management is always looking for a negative comment and never a positive comment. They don't pay well and thats due to the fact that management gets big bonuses for keeping hours down.

      Pros

      Given the opportunity you can move up with food lion very quickly. Food Lion does try to promote from within more than hire externals.

      Cons

      Salary does not meet regional average. No training programs in place to work with new hires. Limited payroll budgets that get sliced to virtually nothing during th holiday season. Management that does not listen to their employees, even in meetings when we are all saying the same things every time.

      Pros

      If you don't gain anything else you'll at least learn how to deal with customers. It's also a great way to see how high and mighty people can act if given just a bit of power.

      Cons

      This is the last place I would tell anyone to apply for at the moment. Delhaize has become so enamored with cutting out another penny that they are running the stores and employees dry. Morale is below the floor and everything that made Food Lion worth working at has been either cut completely out or dropped to such a small amount that it's almost a joke. Management is constantly being shuffled about and every one above the store level is only looking to cover their back sides incase someone comes along looking to cut them off as well. All it has led to is a lot of fools running about acting like kings. Unless changes are made to bring the focus back to the store level(customer service levels and employee compensation) then this company will never regain its former position as a market leader.
