Food City Reviews

I worked at Food City part-time for less than a year

Pros – good to their employs and good training. Wish I never left, could kick myself hard for that one. I wouldn't mind working for them again.

Cons – cant think of any. I guess now if I could go back I would hate all the different shifts you have to work because I would love to have the same shift all the time...but that's it

Advice to Senior Management – If they were like the ones I have, keep up the good work, if not then they need to follow the same example they want their employees to follow.

I have been working at Food City full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – the benefits plus free nascar tickets

Cons – a lot of politics....sometimes it was more how you got along with upper mgmt than your job qualities

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Food City full-time for more than a year

Pros – Relatively easy job, got a starting salary of $8 in a state where minimum is $7.25, and I had no experience. The company was kind to me and I'd still be working there had I not moved to a city where no Food City branches exist. Great place to work. All of my managers were young men around my age, and they never demanded anything that I couldn't do.

Cons – Could be fast paced at times, but all jobs are. No real cons.

I worked at Food City part-time for more than a year

Pros – Family friendly company, always willing to help the staff in times of need.

Cons – Mgmt didnt care, mgmt would break rules for certain workers and knock others that met requirments out of departments, very few hrs because of so many high school studrnts working there.

Advice to Senior Management – be fair about hrs ratio and minor/adult ratios in the store. Get to know your emploies a little and have.some fun, customers love to see workers having fun.

I worked at Food City full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Good people outside corporate management, if you can get in good (not performance but relate with them on a personnal level) with a senior manager you have a good chance to advance. support local businesses, support local charities

Cons – Who you know not what you know will determine how far you advance - horrible pay, ESOP is structured so CEO is the only winner - don't care about the people doing the actual work

Advice to Senior Management – Stop trying to take care of your friends and get some qualified leaders to run divisions and departments - get rid of a couple of your VP's as they are a looking out for themselves...not helping you, the company, or the people that report to them -

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
