Pros

Some of the folks are hardworking and put their blood, sweat, and tears into the company and get nothing out of it. They are usually such nice people who and are lovely to work with.

Cons

They do not approve of unions. Pay was $10.00/hr. Not worth my time. God forbid you get sick, they will try to make you come in. Even when Covid was at a peak in the beginning of 2021, they gave me no time to test for Covid and wanted me back at work immediately (blatant disregard for health of employees and even the community. The manager was Anti-Vax and would never wear their mask properly, even when asked to do so. Management threatened my job when I didn't come in for 2 days, even though I called out and had my shifts taken by someone else. Made to stand for hours at the end of your isle just to "look professional." Time could be better spent getting off feet and letting the workers have some time to rest, but they instead pay you dirt and treat you worse than dirt. Food Lion claims their people are caring about the community, but most employees disregard public safety when it comes to wearing masks.

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
