      Pros

      Pay once at management level. Advancement opportunities. Decent Vacations and PTO once you have been with them for over a year or more. Friendly atmosphere but completely dependent on store.

      Cons

      If you start out low will take forever to get your hourly wage up due to only 1 raise a year and % based. Although there are plenty of advancement opportunities if you are willing to transfer and drive further, the companies directors and store managers tend to promote more based on who you know and favorites rather than dedication, hard work, and documentation. Half the time you are unable to take vacation due to lack of help for coverage while gone. Medical coverage used to be good is now horrible.

      I like my job

      Pros

      I like my job. I feel safe and comfortable, I'm not easy to replace. And my superiors aren't afraid to let me know it. I love the people I work with, they are what keep me going.

      Cons

      The hours are awful. I hardly ever get weekends off and my schedule revolves around those under me who are less willing to work.

      Horrible place to work

      Pros

      No pros. Work elsewhere. They give you a 30 min lunch at the max. They complain with every little thing you do. You can never do a "good job" here.

      Cons

      No water bottles, no breaks until after 5 hours. Only a 30 min lunch after 6+ hours of labor. They won't let you get water from the fountain until all customers are out of site so they won't get clogged. Food Lion does not care for the health of its employees. They don't tell you about sick days. They get mad when you are sick.
