Food lion Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

My co-workers, and the customers

My coworkers and my manager

The employees are great to work with

All are accepted and treated fairly

The flexibility of hours is good

We are a family and treat our customers as family

Review from Sales Dept

If it werent for the good people who work there i would have been quit.

Very supportive and encoraging. Non judgemental

What culture. The environment is not welcoming

The company talks a good game and seems to do everything right to avoid bad exposure

I get support with lunch sometimes and usually snacks and water is in the break room

We do what's best to keep the customer happy, even if that means giving away product

Diversity and when allowed working with people that want to work together to complete the work

Our need and ability to help others

I have so co workers that acknowledge the work I do and it feels great to not always be put down

friendly customer service satisfied customers

None, I have transferred to a different location and it the worst

It's diversity and different people who work with me

Review from Sales Dept

Customers are normally nice as well as coworkers. The environment was fine but I didn't fit in to that environment

The workers that look out for each other

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Togetherness instead of being divided

More raises, more hours, more fairness

Better management, live by the company standards, appreciate employees.

Get a deli manager with a honest bone...keep up with her side of the street dont delegate their responsibilities . Knowledge with quality.

They need to honor the values and integrity they always preach about, but never prove

Leadership and company standards. Just shut it down and start fresh

Management should be positive. Negative people equal a negative environment.

The manager needs to be fired she's unfairly cutting hours she's not saying anything to me to help she's singling me out for my race

Everything, especially ageism and holding grudges against people with medical issues

Not treat employees like garbage

Review from Sales Dept

The people i think are the issue

Review from Product Dept

Better management both the hiring shift manager and the store manager do not do their jobs properly they pick and choose favorites

Review from Customer Success Dept

Managers need to actively engage their employees. Really focus in on what their employees need and put their needs as people above the job getting done.

Fair work environment and better management

Fresh, new management or at least give them a new attitude about their employees.

Need managers that care more about the employees and not crunching numbers. Neec managers that trust the employees and stop micromanaging them.

1st, I need to see in my checks what I was promised upon starting. 2nd, we need team meetings, it’s a MUST, and maybe shifts instead of having people come in at random hours, that way group meetings can be had without having to pull anyone off a register and the store can still operate as usua

Review from Customer Support Dept

Hold management to upholding an environment that makes everyone working there feel like they have an impact on what goes on every day, rather than insist on a superiority, and expect that those under management are there solely to do the hard work and serve the managers' random unnecessary requests

People need to be accounted for and do what their supposed to do

Be nice if my manager would stop luring us with responses like "I'll be here! (Unfortunately)" when we say "See you in the morning!", And even better if they would tell corporate to shove it on some little things that mean nothing.
