Food King

This job is really good if your person that likes to work at a grocery store it has all the fundamentals the staffing and the cashiers that do it there supposed to and most of the managers are very nice and talk to you as if you were a person not just a worker which is nice . There’s nothing really bad with this place they make it pretty fair and pretty simple. They work with you tremendously on your schedule even though it’s random part time hours you were always able to negotiate days and times and switch your dates with other workers and 95% of the time the managers will approve it. 
The only downfall I can say about this company is honestly the pay. $7.25 is not enough money unless you are a high school student working part time. For example I was one of the best cashiers I would work around 33 hours a week and barely made around $900 a month, my car was $600 so imagine trying to buy gas food or anything for yourself you’re just not making enough and unfortunately Texas minimum wage is still locked in at $7.25. There’s no advancement you don’t get a pay raise after certain time and managers make $9 an hour, if you were a customer service you make $8.25 an hour 

A typical day at Food King, each cashier would count their till before they could start their shift, then once you are on the register you could no move for 2 or 2 1/2 hours. If you were busy you were stuck there, and even if you were not busy you could not leave the front. The hardest part of my job is having customers yell at me and degrade me, if a price is wrong or their card is declined, this is something that I have no control over and it can be very disheartening. The most enjoyable part of my job on the other end of the spectrum is when we have these amazing people come in and they come in so often you talk to them and you get to know them on a personal level. There is this little old lady who comes in the store and I always have to help her get her paper towels off the very top shelf, and the gentleman who you know exactly what kind of cigars he wants the minute he walks in. So at the end of the day working here has taught me that you may work in an absolute dump, but you have to focus on the positive because the good will always outweigh the bad.

In the deli, I would wash my hands and handle food items, such as raw chicken and pork. I made sandwiches, labeled packages, organized the deli area, washed dishes, cut vegetables, mopped, sweeped, cut cheeses and meats for customers, and created a friendly atmosphere. As a bagger, I regularly bagged groceries and got all of the carts out of the parking lot to bring inside. I would mop the entire store, carry heavy crates of milk and eggs, stock the milk and eggs, mop and sweep the bathrooms and break room, and if the need ever arises, help disabled people carry their groceries to the vehicle. For my first job, I learned a lot about organization, cleanliness, and overall having a warm atmosphere with others. My management was always friendly and stern and made sure I was doing my job right. My coworkers were friendly and helpful whenever I needed a helping hand. The hardest part of my job was first come, first serve, where I would try and serve multiple people. The most enjoyable part of the job was making sandwiches and serving customers.

A typical day at work usually is always busy on the weekends which is amazing because it makes time go by fast but the fact of the pay rate for job responsibility i may say isn't enough. Having to remind your boss in giving you more at least 40 hours a week got overwhelming knowing the cost of living in the state you are in. Having to do other people's job and your job at the same time became overwhelming due to having to be back and fourth all day not having enough time to finish your own work. The most overwhelming part of the day working here is the fact that breaks would roughly be only 15 mins and would not give enough time to sit and enjoy a snack due to having one stall restroom and always being busy. After working there for many years the managers are no where near to give you a raise after completing your job well done everyday.

Dont expect a pay raise, advancement in position, or to be relaxed unless you are very friendly with the managers. One manager asked an employee if she would do anything for money, the woman now relaxes all the time at work and doesn't do anything (guess who gets the most hours, yup her).  Another manager bullies employees calling men women.  Store and assistant manager constantly talking.  Breaks, yeah....15 minutes if you actually get a break. You can work 9 hours and not get a single break. You do a lot of work for 7.25 when managers don't do the amount of work you do and get paid twice your amount with overtime.  Some managers even clock out and work for free, it's only the asistant manager and store manager that get the privilege of clocking as much hours as possible.

Management picks favorites. power has been given to a person who lets personal feelings get in the way of making actual business decisions. If you  are willing to kiss the rear end of a person who doesn't care if you eat today or not well go right ahead. Besides that most co workers are tolerable. a great warehouse staff never seen one like them. Meat department has some great people working there and they don't get as much recognition as they should. the cart people were laid back they deserve some benefits. the cashiers were great except for the one that got me fired. i really liked the vibe of the place when no management was around everything goes by smoothly and no one gets threatened to get fired.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing they don't treat you with respect no raises no benefits everyone is considered part time but work full time hours just so they don't have to give you benefits

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The managers think they could yell at you infront of you in front of customers for no reason  made my job miserable 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very uncomfortable and stressfull

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and expect alot of you

I have been employed for  Food king ever since 2011, and I have learned a lot in my  8 year tenure at  Food king ; from learning to interact  with the customers in a professional matter to counting down the cash registers and making deposits  at night.  Food king has been a strong foundation to my life and that's what I enjoy most about this  profession ; I have had the opportunity to meet many great people and create so many great relationships. With time come change  and the older I become the more I feel that there is more opportunity for myself and more importantly  my family, and I understand that Food King cannot provide those opportunities.

Racist management. Showed a lot of favortism toward females. Managment didn't know very good English and would hold that against others that did. Female workers jus standing around while I would break down pallets by myself. I was always treated very unfairly. If you didn't suck up to management you would be basically their enemy. The schedule was 4 in the morning until you were done stocking all the pallets, sometimes that would be early, and sometimes late like 2 in the afternoon. Very poor teamwork. Management didn't believe in that. Management would lead by very poor example, they were very lazy.

As a deli associate I would fill the warm and cold displays with food to be sold for the day.  Duties would also include cutting meat and cheese for customers by the pound, and make sure food is stocked for the afternoon shift. Keeping the deli department clean was a necessity as well.  I swept, and wiped down all used surfaces.  The hardest part of the day was having many customers in line, and all in a hurry.  The most enjoyable part of the day was chit chatting with the nice cheerful regular customers.  As a cashier I would check out customer, loved the fast pace.
