Working at Hannaford in Bangor, ME: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Bangor, ME Area

"I have worked for Hannaford since 2016. They are an amazing company that really strives to listen to their employees. Like all retail it has its downside and that is being a retail establishment and that alone will burn you out. Management is second to no other."

"It was fine, until I actually started needing hours."

What do you like about working at Hannaford?

"If you are a student, or only looking to work here for a limited time, then Hannaford is a good job. They'll work with whatever your schedule is, though your hours aren't guaranteed."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't apply here unless you are either in school or only intend to work for a limited time."

What don't you like about working at Hannaford?

"Over penalization towards break infractions (a rough total of 12 minutes of live infractions can get you terminated), with each infraction lasting on your record for a year and a half. Very few full time positions, and the scheduling system (KRONOS) will make no effort to schedule you to full availability. People who work two jobs usually find themselves with single-digit hours at Hannaford. There are no employee benefits (not even a store discount), and even paid holidays for full timers are at risk. It seems genuinely geared to keep serious employees at bay."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Dial back on the lifespan of infractions, or give dedicated employees methods to work them off. Some people refuse to cover shifts in fear of the possibility of a write up. Employee recognition is non-existant. The Thanks a bunch cards are given extremely rarely, and even then they seem like an insult, as they only qualify you for a raffle. You don't have to make us like the job, but you could at least make it tolerable. It seems every benefit given to the customers is taken at cost to the employees."
