Food Authority

Since coming to Food Authority, I have had the pleasure to work with a professional, incredibly hard working and committed staff. The warehouse management and staff do there best every day maintain a positive and productive department. The transportation department has an elite set of drivers. They are hard working, professional and care about the company. 
I am proud to work here.

Food Authority is a company who will not care about you or your safety, their specialty is overloading trucks. Im sure their saying is "if it fits it ships" as long as they can fit any amount of product in that truck no matter the weight it will be put in. They know the trucks are over weight but they're not driving it so they don't care. Also forget about logical routing, the new management in this company has never seen a map before I promise you, but if you enjoy driving past one of your stops at-least three times before delivering it, then by all means apply.

This isn’t a place u wanna work at,  management  doesn’t know what they’re doing  at their job makes dumb decisions. If they are interested in u they will lie to u about things just to bring u abroad, like I told em im not available on Sundays they lied said okay you’ll keep u off on Sundays I have to watch my nieces on them days but they gave my days away to someone else and acted like nothing happened and gets mad when u tell em.... workers are fed up and ready to quit and the pay not worth the headache soo please don’t apply over here..... I tell all the new people what I have witnessed so far and they leave immediately soo yeah don’t apply save yourself the headache and look elsewhere

Typically start work @10:00pm.  I arrive and start pre-trip inspection.  Identifying any issues or concerns,.  I receive my route.  I go to warehouse and secure my load.  I help management by assisting others driver helping with change of tires wiper blades or fuses.  I record all concerns and bring them to the warehouse supervisor.  I drive and deliver merchandise throughout MD, DC, VA, PA, and DE ect.  for 8-10 hours per night. (back to yard @ 5- 6:00am)

Hardest part of job is being away from my family at night.

Most enjoyable part of my job is ensuring quality customer service for my company and creating a united partnership with co-workers, supervisor and customers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay is good if they pay you what they owe you on time. Watch your days and and know what you make daily 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Stacking stores shelves with product , and don’t make any mistakes just starting out they will fire you 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Your on your own and the equipment they provide  for the drivers are trash

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hard work, atleast 4 hours of driving you have to work there for years to get two days off together

This company has high turn overate. Due to the work. But mainly the equipment. Most drivers buy their own pallet jacks. They don't offer no safety supplies. You buy your own stuff. If you get hired here. You will only be a helper. If you are a Driver. Until you are assigned a route. You are a certified grunt. The pay is atrocious. 200 a night class B. 300 a night class A. That is what your looking at. If you can't find another job. This should be your last option. If you got a Class A. There is no reason to work here. You can make more money elsewhere. 

I went to school for my CDL class A and applied at food authority. What I was hired to do is not what it has been. Not only do I drive but I also have to help the helpers . There’s times where we don’t leave the shop till 11 pm and I won’t get home till 1 or 2 the next day . The pay is not what they advertise online . I was told today I was suppose to provided my own GPS because I said that there was no GPS in the truck but I was not told that during the hiring process I was told all the trucks come with GPS

As an HR Manager, my day consists of standard managerial duties. I've gained valuable insight into the daily challenges and rewards of running a fast-growing transportation business. My opinions and feedback are welcomed at all levels, and it's clear that the company genuinely cares about employee well-being. A healthy work-life balance is truly practiced here. I'm happy I joined Food Authority in November 2024 and have had nothing but positive experiences so far.

The pay can be better for the work you do (1400 for 5 nights for class A is not that good) no bonuses, no advancement, and management doesn’t care about you. Equipment is not taken care of (was told broken pallet jacks and two wheelers were part of the job just get the stuff off the truck) and most helpers suck (they don’t want to work as hard because drivers make more money). Not a long termlongterm job get in get experience and leave!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing good about this place, very poor equipment and poor management 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not knowing if you are gonna have a hand truck to perform the delivery 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very poor, never told the truth about route

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
To come in and search the yard for your truck, going out and making deliveries, loaders never load truck professional
