Food Lion Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"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."
