Pros

Very easy work, nice customers, peers are nice, close to home, good for breaks(only because they get in trouble)

Cons

I shop here and the fact that they have such good products I was surprised at the lack of intelligence of the management. They are scared a younger more intelligentperson is going to take their job so they give a hard time(btw I never wanted their job). They are beyond unfriendly. Its sad to see. You get paid 8.50 an hr to do the easiest work, but if the management thinks you are more intelligent than they are they make it almost impossible to get through a day. Durring my interview with a very nice lady I was introduced to the manager of the dept. I would work in she rolled her eyes...days later she commented that "she is scared of someone taking her job". I don't think I want to shop there anymore. Also when greeting another higher up manager I asked how he made out in hurricane sandy...he stepped back in almost disbelief that a worker spoke to him awkwardly ignored my and then turned and asked the other manager how she made out. This place is laughably unbelievable .I could keep writing, maybe I will.

Pros

Customer interaction (usually) adds something nice to your day, easy to get plenty of time off if you need it, very sympathetic toward those who are injured or have special medical requests. Only working two years there, I was able to move up as a service leader after starting from the very bottom as a bagger. So career opportunities are there for sure, if you want to be stuck there.

Cons

Management is very uptight about the smallest of things, and even if you do come through for whatever needs they need met, you hardly ever get a thank you or recognition. Also, I had absences due to a death in my family and they were NOT excused. I felt as though they just didn't care about me, even though I know if a manager's family member passed, they would have had time for grievance, and plenty of it!!! They aren't very fair and favoritism is a huge part of it. Service leaders were often lazy and I was always picking up their slack, not getting a single ounce of recognition. Also, I felt as though in HR, I could never get an answer for any of my questions regarding my benefits. It was too confusing to even bother with!

Pros

I really like the people I work for and with. The atmosphere of the store I am in, is more low key than most, is smaller than other Hannaford Stores. As a part-time person, I can request the days and times I want off on a weekly basis.

Cons

This market was obsolete before it even opened. The company never realized how much business they would do. Daily projected sales are 90% of the time lower than the actual sales. The Deli Dept is an oversized umbrella that encompasses deli, seafood, rotisserie, wing bar, olive bar, bakery, and fine cheeses and packaged meats! It'd hard to do it all! This Dept. is also understaffed for what it has to accomplish!
