Started off with decent pay as a stocker during the day with no experience. Dairy/lunchmeat department only had 2 workers, me and the person that came in the morning.As the months went by, work got harder. We kept getting promised help but we never received it. I was expected to do a lot of work within a certain time frame. I was in charge of working milk and egg pallets, organizing and cleaning the fridge, making sure all the merchandise that came in that day got stocked, and filling up and facing before the day ended. Most of the time i was expected to help grocery because the stockers in the morning couldn't finish the work they were assigned, even though they had 5 ppl in the morning working the truck that they received the night before. This resulted in dairy being short handed most of the time. Store manager doesn't care if u work hard unless u are in his inner circle. Management spent most of the time looking at cameras  monitoring their workers for theft instead of the customers. I witnessed many customers taking merchandise into the restroom and walking out the front door with no consequence.The best part about working here is that it's a great place to gain experience and move on to another store that will pay u more.

I have been working for Fiesta for over 10 yrs now! I love it, its full of people from all over the world. A typical day is always busy running from supervising the production, to giving production lists, controlling purchase, Stopping and providing great Customer Service, talking with Customers, then going to sales meetings and helping packaging products, covering breaks to employees, and controlling stales. I've learned a lot in this company from making my numbers to achieve them. From making a right schedule to maximize the production and to take care of each other, we are a family. The hardest part of this job is the amount of hours to be working sometimes I work from 11 hrs to 13 hrs having only one day off and 1/2 day off, and I have a family that I'd like to spend more time with. The most enjoyable part of my job is to have the employees working hard with the precision of the time, but to let then know that they are appreciate for what they do and that we came together at the end of the day.

In most cases I was the head cashier of the store I work at, the one with most sales and fastest scans with no mistakes and my expertise was known that I was made to train the new employees while I was still a cashier with no raise.
I had little to no issues with customers because satisfying them is my top priority and if it involves a sale I want the customer to buy the product.
My schedule was very flexible, when someone could not make it to work I would usually get called and I would go on in even though i was given the day off.
During holidays and very bad thunderstorms I went into work in order for the people to obtain their food.
I not only worked in the front as a cashier I worked in the back as a stocker.
I made sure all the food was at its correct place and price. Opening the store I had to restock everything that was receive in the morning truck.
The fridge was one of my top priorities in which I had to refill the dairy products and juices and make sure none of the current items in the shelf are safe for human consumption.

In my opinion, Fiesta is a excellent choice to start any learning experience where you work with co-workers and get to know the in-outs of grocery supply. I learned that every single item has to be scanned and stocked according to product number, and what happens to old products that are discarded or expired. The culture behind working for Fiesta was a typical jeans and shirt, along with the company shirt, which made stocking and any other task to be completed a lot easier. Working well with one another, communication skills where excellent with employees, and having knowledge of one another's weaknesses and strengths helped to accomplish any task at hand. The hardest part of the job was having merchandise that was no longer in stock or having to revise shelves or move a product to a different area for sales purposes. The most enjoyable part of my day would be when we've successfully unloaded and stocked the store for that particular day.

At first the Fiesta Mart experience was easy going and simple to keep up with, but after a few weeks they slowly let me off the schedule keeping me from working weeks at a time, despite this fact, i would show up until i had gotten written up by my manager, they eventually put me back on but at a negligible rate (2-3 days). Eventually my schedule was so short i wouldnt even find it worth it to show up, and when i did i was forced (gaslighted) into picking up other payrates without the oay for my manager, they would say i had to take care of both my work and others (different pay rates) all while being barely compensated for my own work. That was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I resigned and i hope no one EVER puts a PREDATORY management system before themselves.

When I first started working at fiesta mart everything was fine. I worked as a cashier for a few months then I got transferred into the customer service center. Still when I got transferred everything was still going smoothly. Then they started transferring people to other stores and that left us short handed, the assistant manager got moved up to the general manager after 4/5 months of not having a general manager. then I was given the responsibilities as an assistant manager but was giving the benefits or the pay for one. They used the excuse that I couldn't get the name of Assistant Manager because I had restrictions with my schedule. Those restriction never stopped them from still giving me the work as an assistant manager. They expected me to do the work but without the pay or the hours to get them done. I would still do the work but that brought along the stress that I believe I wasn't getting payed to have.

I really did not work there that long but I did learn different customers service skills while working there. My first few months working there I did receive recognition for fast scanner  on the register in keeping my line down by ringing up the customer items and getting the items in the bag at a manageable time so I can ring up the other customers that are waiting. My manager name were Marco really great  guy always kept me laughing and and telling what a great job I did. There was one day when I came early in the morning and work six to two, my relief called in and explain that something happen and that they will not be able to come in. There was no one available to relieve me so I assist on staying in work the other eight hours remain I did not mind because I was getting extra hours and I knew that it was the right thing to do.   

I wouldn't recommend working for this company. The company is full of  tenure employees that resist change and do not welcome new ideas or new employees. New employees bring new ideas and the tenure managers are still wanting to do operate with antiquated processes. New owners lack communication regarding the changes that need to be implemented but expect you to execute plans you are not aware of. Hopefully they can bring the company to operate closer to this decade, at the very least. 

Benefits are a joke. You are eligible after 90days; a very antiquated rule to follow. From a business standpoint, I get it. Most new hires are gone before the 90 days.  New FT hires do no get vacation for an entire year. You would assume the company is flexible with their employees, WRONG! Even salary employees get their time scrutinized.No 401k match.  Lots of micromanaging going on across the company. .Unprofessional managers/supervisors

My typical day involved using a register and counting money. I learned thru the years how to do many things only managers know how to do. Counting down trays, return and credit policies, lottery tickets. Management in very loose, most of the managers would be staring at the front as costumers items kept piling up. Most of them rather check facebook, or listen to music thru their Bluetooth headsets. Workplace culture is to keep a family friendly shopping center for costumers to enjoy a wide selection of goods from across many countries. My hardest part of the job was when they brought me to the back in the middle of the winter and had me using a compactor to compact all the cardboard boxes from all the departments. I really enjoyed doing stocking, which I did when we were under stress for groceries when Hurricane Harvey.

I have worked for numerous grocery stores in the past and Fiesta so far is my favorite. I love going to work. The cakes are easy to make and in an 8 hour shift, it's easy to produce a variety of items for the customers. The team I work with is great and even though I don't speak spanish, that doesn't affect my work. The only issues I have with the company is some of the new changes they are implementing on the cake side. While the way we would produce the tres leches was quick and efficient, I feel the new way is a bit more time consuming and sloppy. The pay is decent, but I do feel we deserve a raise with the coronavirus situation going on currently. i definitely love that we are able to show a bit of artistic expression and creativity when designing some of the cakes for the case. My management is extremely supportive of my views and future goals, I appreciate that they listen to my ideas and concerns.
