Long hours, not willing to place me near my home town.
Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee) – Belfast, ME – May 20, 2018
Great Company to work for. However, not willing to place me in my hometown. Made drive time plus work hours long. My husband was diagnosed with Metastatic Melanoma. I decided to leave my position to take care of him. He passed within a year of my resignation.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Home base was not close to my home.
Great for highschoolers
Front end (Former Employee) – Oxford, ME – May 18, 2018
I just didnt like the job. I was right out of highschool and the management were mean and angry about something. Maybe thats because they were in charge of a lot of highschoolers but who knows.
Pros
none really
Cons
everything
Great place to work
Cashier/Service Leader, Customer (Former Employee) – Swanton, VT – May 16, 2018
It was at one of the smaller locations, but was an easy going place to be. Worked with you to make sure that the job was satisfactory or that any questions/concerns were met. Job advancement was encouraged, were able to work your way up in the company.

Varies Store to Store, Department by Department
Assistant Manager (Current Employee) – Maine – May 12, 2018
Hannaford is a very active work environment. One is working on their feet most of/ all of their shift. Customer Service is key. Things are often changing, for better or worse. The actual quality of the workplace is very dependent on the team you work with, your department management, and store management. Pay isn't great, but the company tends to reward people who work hard. Advancement is possible, though you may have to change locations, a lot of your success can rely on who you know. There is a bit of micromanagement from the corporate office. In-store management varies greatly. To get a sense of how a store or department works, shop there and it is pretty easy to get a sense of the environment you are going into.
Pros
Variety
Cons
Very busy days and very slow days
High turnover rate for a reason
Associate (Former Employee) – Oneonta, NY – May 11, 2018
I want to be clear that this is a college town which means a lot of people they can pick from which explain the turnover rate some. That said the main manager is someone no one likes and likely only keeps his job because of how he runs the place, aka. gets Hannaford money. I had little problem with other managers or coworkers, quite a few I liked well enough.
I was part time and they did the song and dance where they gave you so many hours a week so you wouldn't get benefits required by law. And since they have so many people to use everyone was part time. See what I'm getting at here?
Know what you're getting into when working here. You're more than likely just someone they can take advantage of until you can be replaced and they have a good deal of people to pick from.

Assistant Front End Manager (Former Employee) – Old Town, ME – May 9, 2018
Management is inconsistent with expectations. Certain associates were caught stealing & sexually harassing managers and are allowed to keep their jobs
Pros
It was air conditioned
Cons
Most everything else
Great company to work for. Management is poor but the job culture itself was wonderful.
Bagger/Cashier/Stock Clerk (Former Employee) – Falmouth, ME – May 9, 2018
Overall I loved working for the company. Just didn't give me very many hours to work because they hired too many people. Management wasn't very organized and they didn't assign tasks very well to their workers. Seems like they freelance it.
Pros
Very good work culture customers were easy to get along with.
Cons
Lack of hours and poor management
Great place and great management
Loss Prevention Coordinator (Former Employee) – Plattsburgh, NY – May 9, 2018
It was my first Loss Prevention position. I had great management and the stores I traveled too, there were great people to interact with.they paid for mileage when traveling for meetings or to other stores besides your home store. Had to use your own vehicle. Not much room for advancement. But the company and the pay made it worth working there. I would've stood and retired, but I moved to an area where I couldn't transfer because there weren't any stores around.
Pros
Everything
Cons
Put alot of miles on my personal vehicle.
Productive place
Customer Service Associate (Current Employee) – Oneonta, NY – May 9, 2018

Working at Hannaford
Customer Service Associate (Part-time/Seasonal) (Current Employee) – Kennebunk, ME – May 5, 2018
I have been working here since the summer of 2015. I was a nanny before this, so it was a big change. I enjoy my time here, but I need to further my job prospects in my field of study, so at some point I need to leave. I do not intend to do so until I find a full time position. Since I started in the summer I needed to change hours and even become temp leave during my college semesters. They are very flexible with this, and I am happy that they can accommodate me.
Pros
Management
Cons
Inconsistent hours during week
