My store is a mess

I don't know what happened in the last year but my store has turned into a huge mess. Things that used to be wrapped up within an hour now take two, new hires are not even pretending to work or trying to learn anything, and most of them are gone... — read more 

I still like working here

Judging from the posts here, I am in the minority but I still like working here. Maybe it's my location, maybe it's the people I work with, but I'm happy. I visit here to see if there are any layoffs or closings on the horizon and it breaks my heart... — read more 

Major trust issue

I hate how my manager talks out of both sides of her mouth. She’s always talking sweet to employees to their face, but the minute they are out of ear shot all she does is complain about what a “terrible” employee so and so is, and how such and such... — read more 

Giant Eagle Opens in India

What's going on with GE?

It's been four years since I was laid off but that turned out to be one of the best things to happen to me. When I remember the work atmosphere and culture I escaped...I know I dodged a bullet. Are things still as bad as they used to be? Or has... — read more 

No one deserves this much humiliation

Giant Eagle isn’t the only company I’ve worked for, but it’s certainly special in its attitude toward employees. Also, I have heard all kinds of stories from friends who work in other companies, but that the superiors are shouting and venting their... — read more

This needs to stop

Did anybody else notice that managers have gone from bad to worse in the past ten months? It feels like they're taking advantage of the situation since they know the economy is in the c-apper and none of us would dare leave right now, no matter how... — read more 

Vision 2020

So how’d it go? Did GE meet its goal and become a 20BN a year company? Laughing. Out. Loud.

Lack of training

When I first came to this company I thought I would get enough time and training to learn to do my job well. However, none of that. I barely fit into the new work environment because I didn’t have enough experience. When I think about my first few... — read more

New perks s---s

The new perks program is horrible. Typical giant eagle taking money away from customers and acting like it's a good thing. Supposed to be exciting for team members???? Sure. Customers already hate it.

Is there something going on?

At my store, two managers walked out within a week of each other. Considering the situation with this virus and how it's affecting the economy, it makes no sense to me they'd chose to simply walk away from a decent job right now. Do they know... — read more
