Pros

The best reasons are no longer valid with the ecomomy being the way it is. The company had to adjust and they took away some of the benifits we had.

Cons

In my district, if you are told to go to another store to work, you dont have choice. You either go or dont have a job.

Pros

any time off you need you usually get, a few friendly customers, maybe you will run into a cool co-worker here and there.

Cons

store management tends to be lazy and not help employees when needed, if they even know what they're doing, constant penny pinching on employee pay, hours are constantly being cut, what few promotions are given are usually given to butt kissers, not butt busters, high employee turnover rate, bad management leads to low morale among employees leading to low enthusiasm around customers.

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.
