What is the best part of working at the company?
Company was once ran in a way where they respected the teammates and had a positive environment with opportunities to advance.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
New management has destroyed the company culture and have unrealistic expectations with the labor provided for departments. Asked to do more with less help.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Company culture has gone downhill significantly with the new CEO. Miserable place to work these days.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Attune to trying to swim back to shore while in a rip tide. You can try hard all day and make little to zero progress.

Communication is very poor. I am the manager but I cant control costs because of forced distribution. Upper management seems to be blind of what really goes on. Bottom line is managers at my level don't seem to compensated for how hard we work.
 The hardest part of the job is the "curve balls that are thrown at you every day because of the lack of communication or breakdown In communication that occurs constantly. The best part is meeting different people every day. The daily interaction with customers can be both enjoyable and upsetting. The satisfaction of setting up a produce department can be rewarding but the amount of product that is wasted is considerable.

My biggest complaint is how long it takes you to get decent vacation time. It takes 8 years to get three weeks of vacation. I have worked other places where I have worked less time and had more vacation/sick time. We don’t get sick time here. My raises over the years have been really great. I don’t have a retirement, which sucks. Can’t afford to do a 401k. I have loved all my patients in the pharmacy I have worked at. They make it worth coming to work. My pharmacy manager was great. It’s a good company to work for. 

I used to have a passion with my job . Over time it’s become harder to enjoy due to labor cuts . I’ve become overwhelmed and stressed. I have expressed my feelings to upper management they do not seem to acknowledge my concerns therefore I have not been interested in being in management anymore .  They have made the bonus program  unrealistic and Unachievable .  Something that salary workers look forward to.   I am very disappointed in this company that I once planned on retiring from .

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great company to work for. Over 100 years of being in buisness.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The job is not stressful. Plenty of communication from employees to management.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great family oriented company.  And teamwork from all employees is top notch.


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Full of several jobs to complete and always something new to master and accomplish.

Management was extremely rude to other teammates at times and understaffed us a lot. It was hard for people to stay. Pretty physically demanding job and rushes were super busy. The most enjoyable part was having a pleased customer. Typical day at work consisted of a busy lunch and dinner period, cleaning procedures, prep work, and helping out in the deli. I learned a lot about how to cook.

I have awesome coworkers. Management is fair. I typically help resolve issues and encourage coworkers as a team leader. It is often difficult to give coworkers directions when they are not following instructions, but with tact, discipline, and encouragement much has been accomplished. Everyday we search for different methods to improve our customer satisfaction.

Made sure my job duties were completed and i liked coming to work and learn new ways to set a case and make new recipes for the service case management was great co-workers could not ask for a better crew very kind a pleasure to work with always positive hardest part if the job was if the meat wrapper would act up or a saw or grinder broke down the most part i enjoyed of my job was cutting meat and the customers

This place will drag you down. If you request days off or even request days that you're not available, they will still have you work. If you have to watch home in the dark, they, especially management, doesn't care one bit. I've seen numerous employees, management and non management, on their phones. But they only come down on those that don't kiss managements butts. They reward the lazy good for nothing employees and screw the hard working employees.

It was ok at the first months, but we started being overworked on different departments and no raises. Management don’t care if a group of people doesn’t work, they just want stuff done even if just two or one person has to do everything. Only cons is there’s friendly coworkers and pay holidays, but most of the time you are working much more than what you’re getting pay.
