Pros

Fair benefits, stable work environment. They do give you easy ways to try and move up be it into store managment or to the corporate environment.

Cons

Pay raises are yearly and capped at 3%. Many issues have to go through district managers and often takes far longer than it should. Store management tends to be overworked and under trained. Same goes for most other positions. While the job may be stable, as everyone must eat, hours are constantly going haywire and full time positions are severly limited. It's also near impossible to get fired. If you see that as a con or pro is up to you, however, this means that poor workers suck away time and money from employees who actually try to do their jobs correctly. In the time I've worked at Food Lion I have seen many good workers come and go because others drag the whole thing down. And for whatever reason, management seems to think that being hard on everyone is somehow going to help the one bad apple.
