Review from Sales Dept

The freedom to work with my customers and co workers without the co workers making assumptions about me. I was not given a chance at this location. I could bring so much to food lion and there would never be overflowing trash again!

Working with the people there and co-workers, they always know how to make the day better!

Review from Sales Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

store have grown state and outdated since their remodel workl.

The management team needs to learn to listen during interviews when they are told that the person applying has medical isssues

Training management the proper way. Having enough knowlege when it comes to the company, treat everyone equally. With respect.

Making sure the truck is right going through the store and making sure you have something before you cancel it out to zero things like that when you switch the shelves up nobody in the company tells us so we get to hang of that and then it just switches up and slows us down

Bad customer service as well as bad employee/employer relations

Being realistic about what can get done in a work week without overtime

Review from Product Dept

Throw it all away and start over

Honesty, integrity and equal rights. Something Food Lion will say they have, but I can prove otherwise

Management and their lack of fairness to the employees and mistreatment they give their employees and getting them to stop treating us badly and talking bad about us

Better management someone needs to take it serious

How and train managers, hire managers that can communicate with their staff

My hours were cut unfairly she's not saying anything about what is wrong she's accusing me without watching me work

Communication!!! Department meetings, employee surveys in store so issues can be known and hopefully explained without employees left feeling ignored and unappreciated

Getto people, poor people that look like they just come out of the woods

Drama, Fravoritizim, Negative vibes, Talking behind backs.

Better management at the upper store level. Management that isn't biased toward friends and family or previous over the top workers. The Store manager doesn't want to work with you on any store discrepancies unless you are the best employee or is friends.

Review from Product Dept

Things arent being done according to standard practice . There needs to be proper training even for management

Better management in the whole store

The store I work at is so old and run down and they only care about health and safety when they know someone is coming to check.

Costly and they needed to hire mature people. Compensation pay needs to be higher, not be about greed

What do you like best about your company?

Review from Sales Dept

Some of my customers who come in and make me smile.

What would you most like to see improved at your company?
