Pros

A large company that posts lots of career opportunities. Senior management very interested in developing the employees, although mid-level managers don't follow through.

Cons

Lots of opportunities, but only if your immediate manager is supportive. If he or she does not like you, then you are usually stuck. And even if you find another opportunity within the company, your manager can block your move.

Pros

Food Lion is a great, progressive company to work for because of their forward, democratic views and acceptance. Great HR department.

Cons

Management will pick at everything that one is doing incorrectly and not done as stated by the handbook. Writeups will be given with no prior warning and raises are .03% of an employees current pay rate... very disappointing. And, when one is told a raise is due, it takes about 3 to 4 months for the raise to process...

Pros

Easy and Predictable. You know what to expect day to day from the job. Management seems to be fairly laid back as long as you are getting the work done in the time that they give you. You get to meet a lot of different people in the grocery store.

Cons

No benefits for working part-time. Your basically just like another customer to them. NO discounts on any of the merchandise they have to offer.
