Vantaggi
Very good benefits, good pay, bonus program for managers. It's a pleasant atomosphere to be in and allows the chance to interact with a lot of good people, whether they are customers or co-workers.
Svantaggi
Negative rienforcement seems to be the theme when it comes to performance evaluations. Typical in retail, when hours get cut they shave from the bottom, the hourly associates, and more falls on the plate of the salaried mid managers. Store managers seem to exploit this and what was once a "once in awhile" task becomes the norm. As a salaried manager if you dont mind: bagging when ever called, doing cash depoits, working in the dairy and frozen cooler, unloading the delivery truck, giving a thorough dept. checkout, grinding hamburg, cake writing, putting up left over grocery cases that the night crew "couldn't" put up, working a 13 page exception report, dept. and cross merchandising replenishment , product ordering, bagging again and responding to customer issues in any given shift only to receive a "partically meets performance expectations" you'll wont mind being part of the Hannaford management team.
