American Discount Foods

The supervisor and management team work exponentially harder than anyone else in the store due to poor store leadership. Raises and promotions are determined by personal relationship over work ethic. The owner has complete power over employees and has a very bi-polar personality making his decision making unpredictable and volatile. No health or dental benefits. Employees have no say in their working hours, receive only a single break in an eight hour shift and receive minimum pay. Management receive a single unpaid lunch break, are paid in a broken "salary" format requiring them to work 45 hours a week, getting punished if they work less but no benefits if they work more. Religious beliefs are shoved down employees throats and those with stronger faith are much more likely to receive raises and promotions.

This company is a religious Christian company. So right off the bat they play favoritism and judge you. Its family owned and ran. So if your not part of the family in some sort of way by marriage and you dont go to there church. You have no chance to advance in the company or even get notice for your work. They have a very high turn over rate. It's not worth your time to work here if your not in with there family or church. It's a joke here, a tight knit operation and they only have each other backs if your family or church member, outsiders dont have a chance to make it here with them regardless of who they are and what you can bring to the table. Dont waste your time here it's another dead end job.

American Discount Foods provides a great service to the community it serves. It can be a fast paced environment because its about getting newly arrived products to the sales floor for the customers. The coworkers are friendly and want to do a good job of customer service. The management obliges the time-off requests as much as possible, and is open to various work schedules to meet employees' needs. ADF provided employment during COVID to people, me included, who were displaced by the pandemic. Some local restaurants who shop there bring in their specialty meals occasionally as appreciation to the employees. That's proof to the great community and customer service this store creates. 

A typical day for me would be to start stocking shelves, and be called up to cashier whenever I was needed. Which was a little stressful because you would need to transition from stocking to cashiering pretty quick and many times a day. That is also the hardest part of the job. The most enjoyable part is the fact the most of your co worker are fun to work with. The culture is typically good. the managers are good individually but they do not always communicate well with one another which can mean you are told by two different people to stock a shelf two different ways or even with a different product altogether.

ADF is fine as a first job, good for learning about the basics of retail. Its very unique in the structure as well as the customer base. Harder than other retail jobs and much more is expected of employees with little pay. Don't expect raises or promotions even if you practically kill yourself for the company. They'll hire just about anyone so it's a good place to start building a resume but move on as soon as you can because you will never be able to support yourself on the income.

I worked here for about 2.5 years and it was great. There’s a role for pretty much any skill level. There’s ample  opportunity to try a variety of things. The work environment is fun and uplifting. Everyone is very encouraging of each other. Management is very flexible with schedule, requesting time off, etc. Hard work is noticed and rewarded. Can be stressful at times trying to get tasks done in time. You will never be bored because there’s always something to do and that’s nice. 

I worked at American Discount Foods for over six years.  Throughout those six years I was always treated respectfully and like I had value at this company.  I started when I was only 16 years old, and they taught me many things about how business worked, and created the work ethic I have today.  Management is very generous and kind, and very good at listening to your needs.  I would definitely recommend working here for any person looking to learn a strong and lasting work ethic, and wants to feel appreciated where they work.

This was my first job and I can say I was throughly excited to work every shift. They are very respectful and considerate of time off, family and personal needs/desires, and work with you at you own pace.

If you're okay working in a place thats dirty, having coworkers who bail from register at the soonest opportunity, and disorganized management, and schedule changes without notice, then this is the place for you.

But hey, you get 30% off of the first 40$ you spend every week after a month of working there, and your time requests will be accepted. Most of the time.

ADF became my work family. Though it was a work environment they made it fun and friendly. I got my work done, and if I ever had questions I didn't feel scared to ask. The managers help you out as much as I can to watch you succeed. It's really a great place to work! I highly recommend this job!
