Dashs Market

Dash's is a locally owned family company right in WNY.  Meaning there is only 4 stores and the whole family still runs the business and works right in house. With this knowledge you'd think they'd be extremely involved in all aspects of the business as its not uncommon to see the owner walking around the store. This could not be FURTHER from the truth. The old fashioned ways of trying to do business leach out into a toxic environment that's never on the same page. Orders are constantly too high or low. They neglect departments to the point total failure or extreme turnover. People who have worked at the company for decades had years of accrued sick time lost because they couldn't afford it. They offer little to no benefits. When I changed departments to one with higher pay they still payed me less than what I should have been making until I had to go to the cooperate office myself. Managers do not work with you to solve problems they just expect you to resolve the issue yourself and if you don't they'll blame you. Overall drama and gossip is another part of everyday culture. Turn over is so high the only people left to higher are lazy and just add to stress of existing long term employees. The only good thing I can say about this place is the friends I made bonding over how terrible the store was. A good place if you need somewhere to work quick but I wouldn't recommend sticking around for any long period of time. As someone who personally had conversations with the family who owns it I cannot say for certain they even care about the business anymore.

A typical day at work is being constantly scolded for something not being enough, constantly leaving the building dreading the next shift while you’re sitting in your car having a mental breakdown, I don’t believe I’ve learned a single thing except how to put up a better mask, the management is horrible. It’s seems blatantly obvious that they don’t care about their employees, my own personal experience with that took place after I had sliced my finger on a deli slicer back in March, I had requested to be removed from the department and placed somewhere else so I could feel comfortable and safe while doing my job, my request was not only denied but it wasn’t even given a single thought. The hardest part of the job isn’t the customers, it’s not the nagging about this, that and the third being presented the right way. It’s the “higher ups”. They genuinely need to get off their high horses and realize that they’re realistically nothing without the employees that work hard so they need to get off of their high horses and bring their noses down a few notches.There is truly nothing enjoyable about working at Dash’s so do not bother

Working at Dash's for 2 years I worked in two different departments. In the deli, which I worked in the second half of my time there, a typical day was slicing deli meat for customers. Taking down their orders, and helping customers with platters and trays. I also unpacked orders, and put them into the coolers, and organized the wall and the island outside of the deli. Working at Dash's I learned customer interactions, and customer service. I also learned problem solving skills along with peer interaction. Management was very good with working around and with mine an everybody's schedule, having employees in college with different commitments going on they did an amazing job with that. The workplace culture was awesome. Everybody knew everybody and walking around the store seeing peoples smiling faces made me smile as well. The hardest part of the job was learning to work with the slicers and all of the parts that went into it. After a few tries and attempts I got the hang of it and it eventually became second nature to me. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the group I got to work with. I worked with amazing peers and we all got a long and were able to get the job done as well as have fun.

A typical day at work depended on the mood of the store manager who usually hides in the office. I quickly learned to keep to myself and try to get just make it through every shift. There is no team work and it is very unfriendly. Management is a misnomer, mostly being uncaring and very micro managing when present. The culture is awful and is high school at best. Gossip is rampant and most people here are very fake. The worst part of the job is how poorly it is run and i was never able to have a reasonable schedule. So much turnover and a lack of training made the job frustrating, My personal life suffered because i would work from 6am until 5 or 6 at night. Then i would be berated for over time! The most enjoyable part of the job was getting paid and clocking out, Please don't work here. Do something, anything else or you will regret it. 

I overall enjoyed my time at this company. As long as you do the basics of your job & do what you're told, you'll be just fine here. Best advice I can give is befriend your department manager & store manager, once they trust you & are on your side, they'll most likely always ride for you. 

Owner believes in putting education first, so they were always extremely flexible with my busy school schedule & worked with me to try to make sure I still got hours even though I had such limited availability. 

At times, especially holidays, work load get overwhelming due to the high volume of tasks that need to be done to keep up with the demand. But its a grocery store so thats a give in. Other than that, it was a very chill place to work. 

No big complaints. Not much room for advancement in the company unless someone leaves or gets fired, but I wasn't looking to grow very much with the company anyways.


Where to begin? Being thrown on a job I wasn't hired for and wasn't trained for? Constantly being threatened, micromanaged, and generally harassed by upper management? The ridiculous levels of incompetence, nepotism, and needless drama? If you are not management you are not safe. You could lose your job literally whenever. They pay the absolute minimum wage and the store manager complained to my face a whole lot whenever the minimum wage went up. No benefits, no employee discounts, not even coupons. And here's a little tip for you- if you meet one of the Dash family themselves, run the other directon

I enjoyed my job in the Bakery Department.  I learned a lot of new skills from my co-workers, as well as different types of methods to design fancy cakes and tortes.  The current employees have been there a while and seem to have a family-type closeness with each other.  It is a grocery store, so the hours are constant, including Holidays and weekends.  For me, the toughest part of the job was the increase in bakery activity during the holidays, though it was a nice change of pace to be challenged at those times. During slower times, I was able to show off my creativity with my work and attempt new ways of decorating their cake line-up.

Before I left, BOTH assistant store managers quit, and upper management did absolutely nothing to try and retain either of them. With this mentality, it's obvious to see that they care veen less for the employees further down the totem pole. The employees they do manage to retain are mostly teenagers. They'd rather spend money on unnecessary remodeling than offer even their department managers a reasonable wage. The upgrades are a façade to mask the overall subpar working conditions Dash's offers. There is no love here, nor is there respect. And this is their biggest folly. For they fail to realize that their employees are their most important asset, and should be treated as such. 

Do not work here unless you want to be in a toxic environment where you cannot trust anyone. You have employees literally hitting vapes while you're trying to do three things at once. Forget a lunch because you're stuck doing everything anyways. Manager talks down about and complains about everyone and everything. Manager will tell your information to everyone. You are expected to do way more than what they tell you about. I do not feel bad about putting my two weeks in. If I did not need the money, I would have walked out.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Fairly flexible hours, and generally low-risk environment.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management can be awfully unbalanced and difficult to work with on occasion. Pay is minimum wage, very run-of-the-mill.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Employees range from amazing to downright lazy at times. Don't expect them to carry much weight, as a lot of influx is from highschoolers and teens without a work ethic.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Always had work to do, and things to clean. Kept you busy and entertained with a lot of friendly coworkers.
