Great coworkers and one of the few employers who offer benefits and vacation for part time employees
Cashier (Current Employee), Homestead, PA; Squirrel Hill – May 17, 2013
Pros: benefits and vacation, free soda, and great coworkers
Cons: hard to get full time
A typical day at Giant Eagle includes ringing customers orders, doing price checks, and retrieving tobacco products. I have learned how to run a register. Management is average, some good some bad. My coworkers at both Squirrel Hill and Waterfront are the most enjoyable part of my job. They make a hard day seem easier.

Fast paced and well in demand
Pharmacy Technician (Former Employee), South Euclid, OH – May 15, 2013
Pros: clean environment, friendly people, chance for advancement
Cons: lack of staff, short breaks, rude people.
My work day will typically be helping aid the pharmacist such as counting pills, stocking selves, inventory, and working the register.
What i liked most about the job was that in some way i was making a big contribution by providing the medication needed to possibly save someones life. I got the chance to also work with some great people who taught – more... me a lot about not only work but life itself and I'm fortunate to have had such a great job while being so young. The hardest part was lack of staff so i had to do a lot of multitasking when we were extremely busy. – less

Decent place to work-no place for advancement
Customer Service (Current Employee), Painesville, OH – May 4, 2013
A typical day at work consists of dealing with customer complaints and handling cash. I have learned plenty of things here such as how to work with others, how to handle money, dry cleaning, how to put orders in, and communication skills. Management here has its ups and downs but there has been a lot of times where management likes to put us down or – more... yell at us in front of customers. They also like to talk about people behind their backs. The hardest part of my job is knowing that there is no way to succeed more and no chance of advancement. The most enjoyable part is seeing happy customers. – less

working with customers and taking care of their needs
sales clerk (Current Employee), Warren, OH – April 30, 2013
Pros: working with the public and meeting people and talking with them.
Cons: healthcare and better benefits.
Customer service with the public;love meeting new and regular customers that shop our store and taking care of their needs in the bakery; work good with everyone in the dept and always work good together to get the job done. Try to get along with everyone and get what needs to be done. Learned how to take cake orders; use the bakery bread slicer, label – more... machine for tickets for items; packaging of all bakery items and stock tables on floor to sale in bakery. Also answer phone to take care of orders over the phone and clean, sweep and trays and dishes done by the end of the shift. The hardest part is knowing sometimes what is expected of you if no communication is given to inform you. Having to make a fast decision of how to handle a situation to your best ability. Most enjoyable part is meeting people and taking care of their needs and know that you succeeded to please them. – less

Deli Clerk (Former Employee), Heath, OH – April 28, 2013
Pros: bonuses, attendance bonuses
Cons: not enough hours.
Enjoyed working with the public. The customers shopped at Giant Eagle and the Deli was one of the first departments they came to when they entered the store, therefore, completing their order quickly was a must as they had the rest of the store to shop and they did not want to spend alot of time in one department. I learned to work alot faster and with – more... great accuracy to meet the customers needs. My boss and co-workers were excellent people to work with and learned alot from all of them. Enjoyed the job and working in a fast paced environment. Hours were cut due to the economy and lack of sales, therefore, I chose to move on to another job in which I can show my skills and would like to work in a fast paced environment again. – less

LOVED Working for Giant Eagle
Customer service (Former Employee), Washington, PA – April 23, 2013
Pros: everything but compensation
Cons: compensation
This was probably one of the best jobs I ever had. The pay could have been better. A LOT better in fact. But what they lacked in pay, they gained in employee support, training, professionalism, and longevity. I worked with people that had been with the company for 20+ years. I worked at the location in Washington, PA and was a meat wrapper. The crew – more... there was so amazing, and even when I left (due to moving) I was told that if I ever went back I'd have a position in that store. I even still keep in touch with most of the crew in that department, and others, including the dept manager and the store manager. If you have the chance to work at this location, TAKE IT. Wonderful store. – less

Average work placement overall, customers were always satisfied
Customer Service Associate (Former Employee), Toledo, OH – April 23, 2013
Pros: getting to know the general public and outgoing customers on an every day basis.
Cons: management was very mediocre and unprofessional on work ethics.
typical day at work would be nothing short of average, being around people and some of the outgoing customers I had helped out were what made the job fun. management was very short coming and did not give the proper trainer nor had "the time" as one would put it, very unprofessional and mediocre at best. The hardest part of any job would be the first – more... day after a week its nothing short of enjoyable. – less

Giant Eagle is a fast paced, growing company.
Assistant Meat Manager (Current Employee), McMurray, Pa – April 20, 2013
Pros: 401k, opportunity for advancement, health benefits and fair wages.
Cons: no work life balance, lack of work ethic among employees
As the assistant meat manager my daily duties include receiving the bills for the meat order, checking the order, code dating and rotating, pulling sales for previous day, creating cutting list as well as cutting meat. Twice a week a supply order is put in, received and checked. The management is supportive and a pleasure to work with. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job is cutting meat along side of veteran meat cutters who have enlightened me with their experience and knowledge. – less
