Can you retire from Giant Eagle in 30 years
If you have 30 years of service, are you able to retire. I do not work there I just had a back and forth with my gf on this, she claims that you can and I claim that you cannot.
Giant Eagle no longer posts sales results
One thing I noticed too is that around 2012/2013, they stopped posting how much money in sales each store was making in the district too. They had revenue figures from each store on it, plus where they ranked in sales. They're probably too... — read more
Micromanaging is a warning sign
They're also micromanaging everything too to a tee. That's bad when they even freak out about the amount of bags being used by the cashiers acting like the bags alone will bankrupt the store. The shoplifting is worth more than the box of bags they... — read more
It might be going under!
I would give this company another 3-5 years before it goes belly up at least in the Northeast Ohio area. Day by day, the stores begin to look like how Tops looked like towards the end when they went bust and bankrupt. Something is wrong when you go... — read more
Have some dignity
This company no longer cares about their employees. They don't pay enough for what they expect out of you and job stability is not there. Employees are constantly being let go because of positions being eliminated. Absolutely no communication with... — read more
Loyalty only goes so far
Hey look, I work at giant eagle corporate. I shop mostly at Aldi's and wal-mart. I won't apologize for it either. Loyalty only goes so far. You can't beat the prices. It is what it is. Giant Eagle is way too expensive. I guess the Shapiro's and their... — read more
Giant Eagle needs better service and prices, not more sponsorships
These are challenging times in the grocery world for the best-run grocery chains. There are problems too numerous to list with leadership, starting with the simple fact that the majority of people in middle and senior leadership/management got their... — read more

70% of all Giant Eagles will be going out of business within the next 7 years.
For my own safety I won't say too much...Just know that there is a 20 step plan that was created roughly 6 years ago. A plan that will insure that the highest level corporate employees will be the ones with the life raft. This Titanic of a shipwreck... — read more

Suing our own. What is next?
Now the company is suing their own over part/full time status. Guess the thinking might be that any free publicity is always good publicity.
Shrink
Do we think the senior management team will ever get their act together on tackling how much product walks out of our doors? I see someone from LP once in a blue moon it seems, but the store's shrink is sky high. I had heard they hit them with... — read more
They plan to cut more people and blame everyone but themselves
This place is going down faster than a prom queen on prom night. The leadership plans to raise prices, pay attention and you will see. Raise prices, what the heck? You are already the "most expensive date in town" as one of the senior leadership... — read more

Next set of store closings
What is the date for the next set of closings?
I'm still here..
It's like a ghost town now, every building is half empty. It's weird I feel like so many good people were let go while a lot of useless people stayed (besides me of course). I noticed around 5/6 years ago, a lot of the same type of people started... — read more

This is what the Iggle is.
This is what the Iggle is. The morale in the stores has been rock bottom for five years. The training and the hours cuts have led to angry customers who hate to wait. Instead of making what they had strong they expanded their empire too large and too... — read more
