    Outstanding Customer Service Staff, Participates Like Family

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The managers are considered to be your best friends here. We talk about college, performance, as well as sports teams. To be honest, however, one should consider moving about finding other jobs. Nevertheless, Hannaford is a great team for your first job, but after time there are no new or thrilling avenues. However, being in a company where you are understood gives you a sense. Nothing is better than having a sense of belonging at work.

    Cons

    Yes, Hannaford is a great retailer for the majority of time. However, when thinking about many obstacles at work, there is much to be said. Hannaford does their best to include you, as you are filling the ranks for a next employee of the month. Though, the work does get mundane. In each interaction, there is less concern about the task, and more thought of what happens outside. To work here, there is no comparison. Though, instead of working on a mundane task like helping a fellow coworker with a U-boat, they could show other departments. I have tried this in the past, but they constantly say that I move too slow, downgrading.

Culture
Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month Sept. 15 - Oct. 15 Mike Vail, President I’m privileged to officially kick off the celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month in our stores and in our communities this month - and when I say celebration, I really mean it. The contributions our Hispanic and Latino associates have made to our organization and our communities are incredible and worthy of our month-long recognition, but also every day of the year. I’m also excited to recognize our Hispanic and Latino minority-owned suppliers we’re championing this month as we continue the important work of highlighting and expanding the diversity of product representation in our stores. Continuing our energizing efforts to highlight and support diversity, equity and inclusion, I’m excited that we’ll be introducing our customers to associate Betty Rivera from our Walden, New York store. Betty, a Front End Lead and a member of our Mosaic Business Resource Group, For more ways to celebrate with us, visit https://www.hannaford.com/inspiration/hispanic-heritage-month
