Food Lion Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I've been with Food Lion since 2015 and the company is not what it used to be. The store in Rolesville has drastically declined, especially when the new CSM Brittany took over she is rude and nasty, and has very poor skills when it comes to treating employees with respect, I'd you have to work for food lion I would avoid the Rolesville store #0669"

"I've been there five months & overall it's just a job but not where I see myself in the future."

"I had no issues with management. My wages were fair and I was given reviews of my performance so I was allowed to self improve. My experience wasn't pleasant or unpleasant. If I had any problems, reporting to management was easy and any issues were handled efficiently and with confidentiality."

"As far as the managers go they are very disrespectful. they bully their employees and they don’t care about their employees especially the customer service manager she can’t keep people upfront because she allows her position at the company to go to her head. this is why lots of people want to quit or change positions."

"If you are a self motivated, self determined, and self starting individual, then Food Lion wants you! I am so excited to. E working for a company that promotes you within months. I started out as a FFD associate, then got promoted to Grocery Manager, took a step down to be a Produce Manager, and now I am an Evening Manager. Yes, it is hard yet steady work. You have to be a people person, a problem solver, a student, a teacher, and sometimes even a robot! They also offer so many different discounts on things as far as on the website for other things we purchase. I use the auto insurance, 401k, and health benefits. This company has really helped me become stable financially. I am grateful."

"Great people to work with/for"

"I enjoy my job because of the people I work with. It's all about the culture from place to place, and the branch I work in is very team-oriented and stresses a family dynamic. That has been my experience, but again, that varies from place to place based on leadership."

"Have worked there for many years, and while there were rules for no food on the front end which makes sense, drinks were always permitted until recently. Every other employee in every other department throughout the store can easily leave their workstation unattended for bathroom, water fountain and smoking breaks and nearly all of them do so often. But cashiers can only leave at break time or customer traffic permitting, which sometimes leaves us waiting for an hour or more for a trip to the water fountain, which is unacceptable in light of the fact that no other employee in the store has that restriction. Because of that and because a cashier's job requires excessive talking which is dehydrating to provide even basic customer courtesy, far more than any other job in the store, cashiers should at least be permitted to have bottled water at the registers. There are ample places to keep them out of customer sight and well away from the electronics at the front of the store at our workstations. Additionally, one lady cashier is a diabetic and brings her temperature-sensitive medications in an insulated bag that she used to keep by her register with her. They recently told her that had to be stored in the common break room in the back of the store, well out of reach should she need it and well out of sight to supervise it and ensure it's not being tampered with or stolen. Food Lion has been in business a long time, long enough to know what people need to do their jobs well. Water and our meds shouldn't be too much to ask for. So why is it?"

"I've only worked for this company for a few weeks."

"Instead of allowing those who are working to get more hours, they insist on hiring more people, cutting those who want to work more hours back. We constantly fight for hours. There is no way one can live on 15 to 23 hours a work week. The overall management of the company does not care about it's associates. Moving up is impossible. Too much favoritism goes on. If you are not in the "in crowd" with the management, do not suck up to management, then you basically get little to no hours. I would not recommend."
