D&B Grocers

A typical day at work is calm and quiet. There are times it can get bustling and busy, but not chaotic.

I have learned over the years how to approach my coworkers and business associates in a polite and professional manner. I can be a bit abrasive and too honest for a professional environment, but D&B has stuck with me, and it has paid off for both of us.

Management has only improved over my employment here. There is a sense of openness about management allowing one to be comfortable enough to approach with any questions or concerns or ideas.

The hardest part of the job is the occasional lack of context provided in tasks or job responsibilities or coworker's tasks and role, and that sometimes things can come off as on a "need to know" basis. However, in my personal opinion it comes down to management simply being so involved in their work that it is an unintentional exclusion.

The most enjoyable part of the job is working directly with my purchasing director.

Job description said 8 hours shifts - interview process I was told "potentially a couple 10 hour days, with shorter days to balance it out" - in my first 4 (training) days I worked 42 hours. Some people are down for that, but at no point was I told overtime would be necessary to complete the basic job.

The tasks themselves were quite fine, most of the people you interact with in the stores seemed cool, but the hours that appeared to be required were not what was advertised and not worth it.

They are short staffed, which may have effected the training process so heavily, but whatever is going on is scaring away the new-hires.  I learned halfway through the week that this particular route had gone through "10 trainees in about a month."

Unless you enjoy 50 hour work weeks, I do not recommend. 

The only reason I gave the work/life balance a three star is because people are quitting shortly after being hired because they don’t want to actually work and that causes the good workers to have to pick up the slack. They just want to show up do the bare minimum and collect a check. This is not hard work, but it is WORK! Do your job, be honest, be flexible and don’t expect everything to be given to you in the first week of starting. Management is very supportive and motivating. They recognize and reward the hard workers and do what they can to weed out laziness while still giving people a chance to recognize their mistakes and make improvements. Honestly the best manager I have ever hade in my 40 some years of life. All the bad reviews you have read on here are most likely from poor, lazy, entitled employees. Definite room for advancement and pay increase if you actually deserve it and put in your time. I have had both and have not yet worked here for a full year. Know your worth, SHOW your worth!! They will see it if you show it.

D&B is a midsized company that continues to experience growth. Plenty of cross training and promotions from within.  If you are honest, loyal and dependable, they will work to maximize your strengths. At times, new positions have been created to help employees reach and showcase their full potential.

Being in the wholesale food industry,  there is very little down time-so that can be an issue for some.  Days can be long at times, but you will leave with sense of accomplishment-knowing that you have helped customers or another coworker succeed.  

Management is very involved in the day to day.  They will not task you with something they haven't done themselves-often assisting.  Doors are open and there is a sense of camaraderie, including with ownership. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
This company do not value their workers. A person got fired just for asking for a raise. Their benefits is very bad, you have to work for them for 1 whole year before you get 5 days of PTO, no employee 401K matching. They have a very high turnover rate. The boss only care about the money coming in not the workers that are making it possible for the company to make money. Fake smiles from the people there, not many are genuine. Worst company for anyone who wants to advance in their career and get paid what they deserve. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The early mornings, work starts at 7a.m. You are also doing multiple things at once, some not even in your job description. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The employees are nice and good but the boss and his family are not. It’s a family business and all of them are only after using their employees. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I come in and do my job and also see who else needs help.

Worst place to work.wants you to work 14 hour days on salary .gives you a hard time about giving you the gas money they owe you.no car allowance. Drive over 100 miles a day at your expense in 6 months drove 2 cars into the ground .offers you bonus if you "sell displays" which add 20 + hours to you work week then never pay.they give you 17 stored a day which each take at least 30-45 minutes each plus drive time(you do the math)then threatened to fire you if you skip stores.management is clueless and have unreal expectations .entire company is an unorganized nightmare. They tell you you get "paid holiday" but you have to work the Saturday before holiday to "make it up" you could work 70 hours a week because your "salary" but if you start an hour late because of a doc appt they short your check......biggest mistake ever !!!!!!! RUN!!!!

Poor support from management 
Equipment is fair to rough
Uniforms don't fit (but your expected to wear) 
Customers are rude VERY RUDE MOST OF THEM..
No company phone no gps
Long shifts (for day pay) training is 8hrs but when your on your own 14.  For day pay.  No one respects YOUR TIME!   
EMPLOYEES ARE UN HAPPY 😊 
Orders are not inspected so you'll have to break it down and see what's is there.   You'll have to do math and be a accounting person.   Very stressful  ...   it's on you . 
look at your power point spread sheet and figure it out  after 2hrs sweating  breaking down pallets.   System not good. 




So grateful to finally have found a professional company that has a great work environment and to actually enjoy coming to work everyday!

Safe and secure work environment 

Come to work and get your day started and be professional. The company staff treats you like family. Work at your own pace, listen to music, take your lunch and breaks when you choose up to a full hour. Have snacks and drinks while you're working (Self Provided). Do your Job and have fun 😊

They will promise you the world to get you in the door and fail to honor what they initially told you.  They continually make changes that make the job more difficult because they have no true support or experience coming from the top.  They are a company who lines their own pockets off of your hard work and you will never see the results of your work in a commission check but it will be promised to you so that you stay.  This is a family run and owned business where the employee's struggle and the family sits back and watches while they flourish off your work!

I was a merchandiser and account manager and the company would make me work overtime even though I completed my weekly work. The owners would send product to stores without my knowledge resulting in angry customers. This affected my paycheck because customers did not want to accept my commission based orders nor give me displays for my product. Mileage reimbursement is not comparable to current gas prices. I also totaled my personal car while working this job and the only thing management cared about was if I could finish my route.
