Pros
Straight forward, easy-going position. Honestly kind of fun to search for the different items. Being able to help in other parts of the store is nice too, not stuck doing the same thing.
Cons
Sometimes slow, but you can always help to pick up on cashiering, stocking, grabbing carts.

Pros
Food Lion is one of the better grocery chains to work for in the region. They pay better than Ingles & Food City. There always seems to be a chance to work more hours if you want them. A good employee nucleus with the long term employees who are a wealth of knowledge and full of kindness. Employees are constantly thanked for helping the customers and the count on me mindset really helps us take care of customers and fellow coworkers. Work and life balance is good and asking off for important dates usually gets approved.
Cons
Quality of pay is still lacking and needs to improve. It's gotten better especially with new management being opened to discussing this topic. Even if the region is lower cost of living, the base pay rate is still too low. Also, factoring in cost of living on the rise, company sales continue to grow, employee pay should reflect that. Employees keep hearing about record sales, while hours get cut (in the past) the week after.
