Pros

If you are a people person then dealing with people everyday. Making someones day better with a simple nice conversation

Cons

You have to completely kiss your managers butt if you ever want to move up in the company. You get minimum wage. Even if the assistant store manager likes you and sees how much knowledge you have in retail and management in my particular store since I was not a preppy lady my immediate manager would not recommend me, therefore completely prohibiting me moving up in the company. If your immediate manager does not like you or knows you know her job better than she does and get along with all associates unlike her you are at a standstill!

Pros

The pay is alright, and the work is not very strenuous or challenging. Also, most of the employees (non-management) are decent individuals.

Cons

Upper management can be aloof, most of the time you only get promoted based on favoritism/nepotism; not on actual job performance!

Pros

Very good benefits, good pay, bonus program for managers. It's a pleasant atomosphere to be in and allows the chance to interact with a lot of good people, whether they are customers or co-workers.

Cons

Negative rienforcement seems to be the theme when it comes to performance evaluations. Typical in retail, when hours get cut they shave from the bottom, the hourly associates, and more falls on the plate of the salaried mid managers. Store managers seem to exploit this and what was once a "once in awhile" task becomes the norm. As a salaried manager if you dont mind: bagging when ever called, doing cash depoits, working in the dairy and frozen cooler, unloading the delivery truck, giving a thorough dept. checkout, grinding hamburg, cake writing, putting up left over grocery cases that the night crew "couldn't" put up, working a 13 page exception report, dept. and cross merchandising replenishment , product ordering, bagging again and responding to customer issues in any given shift only to receive a "partically meets performance expectations" you'll wont mind being part of the Hannaford management team.
