Pros

They give you good hours. The managers are also very nice. I know i have worked at a department stores and the managers just think they can treat you however they want. At giant eagle you are treated with respect and they treat you the way you would want to be treated.

Cons

There are a couple one of them is the way they hire employees and then the employees just quit. They need to be cautious when hiring so that they can actually get reliable people.

Why I work for Giant Eagle

Management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Giant Eagle ensures customers and team members are treated with respect. Every team member is empowered to correct customer service issues. It is a great place to work and shop. You can have fun and give excellent customer service at the same time. If I feel I need a change, I just apply for another position within Giant Eagle. I don't have to change companies to make a change.

Cons

Team members receive free health insurance. Managers have to pay a portion of their insurance. I understand I am fortunate to have insurance. I just would like the same benefits as team members.

Pros

Very understanding of a work/life balance. People think it is strange if you work past 6 pm.

Cons

Not very good salaries. There seems to be a disconnect between what HR believes to be a good salary and what the rest of the world believes is a good salary. The excuse I always here is, well it's Pittsburgh, it has a lower cost of living. Whatever, pay me what I'm worth.
