Food City Employer Reviews

Opened store, received & proccessed inventory, assisted cutomers.

I enjoyed working here if I would only have gotten more hours it would have been even better.

Very fast paced deli. Hard work. Good crew. Company was great with community work--especially Bristol races.

My typical work day was good I stayed busy and on top o fthe game.

I don't have a lot to say about food city other than the fact that even at low level jobs it's all about politics. Working there is like being in high school all over again with nothing but gossip and kids.Most people don't do their jobs and they are the ones being rewarded.

I did not have a good experience woking for this company. But I believe it was not the company, it was management.

A typical shift at Food City is just ensuring that all the customers leave happy. You must keep your check out lanes open and flowing nicely, that all the customers have no issues while in the store and taking care of anything else that may need to be fix.

Worked with some very enjoyable co-workers. Work load varied considerably. Shifts could vary by as much as 4 hours. Signed on to work 30 hours per week. That soon became more than 40 hours and anything over 40 might get paid and might not.

management is horrible. high turnover rate. managers dont know hat they are doing. horrible to employees. store manager will not transfer anyone and refuses to give full time positions or raises.

I enjoy working at food city. I like the fact that they promote from within, but the only problem is that it is such a good company that you have to wait a long time to be promoted.

working in the seafood department everyday was a experience you never knew what to expect the heads of the department were very great to work for very understanding
the best part was dealing with all the different customers
learning all the different recipes for all the different fish

Company sets great expectations. Good training. Great management staff. Food City is very strict with there rules and expectations but they are very easy to abide by. They just want the best for there customers!

I manage my department all day and do the daily duties that need to be done, make sure the customers are being taken care of, and production is being done. This job has taught me to be a better manager, I enjoy the customers and the employees that I work with.

About the only thing that makes this type of job tolerable is the people you work around. Fellow employees are energetic and positive, and very friendly. The work, however, is difficult depending on your position. More specifically, Bakery cooking is the most difficult.

The job itself was not that bad, but the managment tended to only hire young teenagers. This lead to a lot of drama in the workplace.

Food City is a job. It is better then not having a job at all. I only get four to ten hours a week and can not buy another job. I need more hours so I can buy my gas to and from work anyway. I will say that there are certain people who work there- that seem not to understand or have any feelings for the hardships in a persons life. Maybe I would be – more... understanding if I got more hours to make me feel as if I were making a difference there, but all I hear from one certaing person there is how undependable I am... Recently I was in a car wreck and I see a doctor to correct the damage that the sit belt did to me. It should not affect my days at work because they have only been working me weekends anyway (4 to 10 hours- sometimes divided into two days). In regards to all the hard times- I still keep my eyes and heart on the Lord Jesus Christ because in the midst of it all I still have peace that some how things will work out for the best , even if it means moving to another job where I will feel needed and appreciated. Also, that I actually do make a difference wherever I am. God Bless whoever reads this. I am not over board religious-I just know who holds my future in HIS hands. I know that somehow I will get the right job for me and or somehow things are going to get better.

A typical day at work is just checking out the groceries and listening to people and their problems (if they want to talk about them). I have learned that all people have problems and need somebody to show some compassion, kindness, understanding. Just to make a difference in someones day means alot. My co-workers for the most part are understanding and do not agree on how some people are treated but fear for their job so keep their mouth shut. I have written K-vat but one person's thoughts does not seem to get anywhere. The hardest part of the job is when you get unruley people who just want to take all their flustrations out on you and you have to smile and take it- unless it's something over the bill and then you can call a manager who may or may not be able to help. After all, we are all just people-doing the best that we can.

The most enjoyable part of the job is when someone smiles at me and says GOD BLESS YOU.. or they may say have a nice day and I really appreciate you. Sometimes people help me bag when a bagger is no where to be found. Getting hugs from children really make me happy. Anyone who really knows me will know who has written this. I did not write this to put any body down but to just tell the truth. I went to school to do secretarial work, front desk work, but the road I have been down has been cashier work. People say that I am good with numbers. I'll close before it sounds like I am getting on a pitty party. – less

7:00am to 2:00pm. Worked weekend. 200 customer to attend.
Things I learned ws about customer service and it's importance, the technology on how to manage the register.
Management was easy to get along .

didn't like it. It was a great opportunity but the hours were brutal, on average 70 a week. I made my own schedule but could never get away

it's good place because almost everyone knows each other or has known them in the past and it's also a great place to get job experience and learn how to deal with situations in every day jobs

most enjoyable part of the job was being able to help customers out with grogericies being able to work as a team
