Pros

This is a great part-time job for those that want to make some pocket money or work experience. It's way better than working in fast-food. Customers won't likely test your patience in this department. You will have flexible work schedule hours and days. The stress is very low in this department! Food Lion is known for having a family-like environment with it's employees.

Cons

The only discount you get are what customers can get with their MVP card and a free shirt for if you last longer than 90 days. Most people who work with Food Lion don't make enough money to live (a) outside of parent's home, (b) without government assistance, or (c) in debt. (This includes full-time employees) If you network well, you can possibly work in Delhaize America or Food Lion's distribution center. In every way possible, Food Lion does whatever it can to save money...

Poorly Managed

Pros

When I first started working there, it was rather enjoyable, loved my job. People were great. The store employee's are a great bunch to work with. Very friendly and quite helpful.

Cons

Upper management cannot seem to get it together. They have no clue as to what they are doing. Too many chiefs leading everyone in too many different directions. One upper management tells you one thing, while another tells you something else. Too much favoritism in the store. If you are not in the click, forget about getting anywhere.
