Pros: managment does not pressure so much.

Very great place to start. I would recommend Food City to anyone because they were the first company to give me a chance. I feel it is easy to move up in this company as well.

Fun workplace; nice co-workers
Cashier (Former Employee), Paintsville, KY – September 26, 2012
Pros: great co-workers; great environment
Cons: standing; no raises; no health insurance
After clocking in I would find out what register I was at that day and I would make sure my area was organized and ready for customers; if I had no customers and I saw other cashiers needed help bagging I would help them while watching my register for customers; the most difficult part was the standing the entire time; the most enjoyable part was talking – more... to the customers and interacting with them. – less

Good place to work.
Associate (Current Employee), Pikeville, KY – September 15, 2012
Pros: one hour lunches, two paid 15 min breaks
Cons: schedule's
Good coustomer service, love working with the public. You get to learn about different positions within the company and the co-workers are great. The management team is knowledgeable in their field of work and willing to help. The hardest part of the job is the job scheduling is sometimes all over the place. But overall it's a good place to work.

friendly co-workers. Awful management.
Night Stocker (Former Employee), Pikeville, KY – August 21, 2012
The store would have been a fun place to work, if the management wouldn't have gotten so bent out of shape over a missed day of work and a doctors excuse. I called in one day and sat in the hospital for 3 hours. The head manager proceeded to yell and tell me that i was only going to be working 4 hours a week from then on out. The next week i worked – more... 4 hours and the week after that i wasn't put on the schedule at all. I wasn't informed that i was fired or anything. – less

Nice work environment, easy-going coworkers.
Cashier (Former Employee), Pikeville, KY – July 22, 2012
Pros: a lot of breaks throughout the shift
Cons: hard to get time off
I never knew what I would be doing when I went into work. Sometimes I would be a cashier with other employees, and other times I would be in a kiosk by myself. The job wasn't difficult, and there was always something new to learn how to do. A lot of times I would be working 6 days a week, with little time outside of work.

easy job, great pay, perfect for highschool/college student or first job!
Cashier (Former Employee), Oak Ridge, TN – July 5, 2012
Pros: easy work, great pay, great benefits, dollywood passes, aquarium passes, etc
Cons: creepers, weird scheduled hours without much attention paid
The only negatives about this job are when you're 18+, sometimes you are expected to close one night and open the next morning (close at 12, open at 6), a lot of creepy older guys hit on you (I'm sure women do the same to men), and sometimes you have to point out how long you've been standing there and that it's past time for your break. Other than – more... that, great benefits are offered even if you're working part time, great pay, and the work is really easy. You also get a good workout on your arms :) – less

Work!
Customer Service- Bagged (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ – June 13, 2012
A typical day at work for me is to bag groceries for customers then after 20 minutes of my shift I go outside and pull in grocerie carts. I usually do that every 30 minutes, I also go and get ice out of the freezer and store it in the front freezer in the store for customers. I keep the front end clean, make sure bags are filled and ready to be used – more... for bagging. I work on go backs from time to time make sure no go backs are all over the front end and make sure they are all put back in their regular places. The hardest part of my job is going out in the summer and pulling in carts. the most enjoyable part of my job is the customers and the employees. I enjoy working with and around people. – less
