For two years in a row, Giant Eagle earned the designation as a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality” in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmark for policies and procedures that affect LGBTQ+ Team Members.

2021 "Power of Work Award (Hire Category)" from Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania
Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania chose Giant Eagle as a "2021 Power of Work Award" winner in the Hire Category, which honors businesses that are opening their doors and improving the lives of people who are differently abled and/or face other challenges by offering them work or work-related experiences.Recently, we hired nine Goodwill candidates from six Goodwill programs. One of the hires was a participant in Goodwill's UPMC Project SEARCH program who was hired into a position in the floral department. As she learned the job it became evident that, due to her height, some of the tasks posed safety risks to her. We identified other tasks for her to do that suited her friendly, outgoing personality while allowing her to continue doing some of the original tasks that she enjoyed and could do safely. She’s been successful in her new position with these accomodations!

My favorite part of my job is research and development of new products, specifically Ready to Cook Meal Kits. Not only do I get to engage my creative side, but it requires a lot of inter-department coordination and logic to piece the puzzle together for a successful product. It gives me the opportunity to work with different people and products. It never feels like work!
