Foods Co.

This place should be condemned. There is literally no redeeming qualities to this dumpster fire of a grocery store, assuming it could even be considered a grocery store. Probably the best quality this store has is if you have a question about medical, or anything remotely important to, management they'll direct to you to at least five other people who MIGHT have a legitimate answer other than 'I don't know.' There's no way to get ahead when management tells an employee one thing, and then never keep their promises, doesn't give an excuse for not keeping said promise, or just forgets about any obligations that were made and just says: 'There's nothing we can do.' It's not just the management, it's the vagrants that come in from that don't understand the concept of taking a shower. There's a lot more, but I feel this sums up Foods Co pretty accurately. If you were thinking of transferring or applying to one of these terrible places, please reconsider. There's so many better options for minimum wage, and actual benefits so you're not having to make $240 a week with no benefits, in a place that garnishes your wages and then call it 'union dues the company could pay, but let's see how much we can squeeze out of the workforce before they notice.'

Being a Customer 1st clerk basically meant you did everyone's dirty work on top of your own. Not only are you putting away go backs and constantly sweeping, you have to be at the beck and call of the cashiers. Also you are in charge of cleaning the bathrooms which get disgusting fast because other co-workers never clean it before you. Once you work there long enough, you take classes to learn cashiering and add another role to your never ending tasks. Hopefully you get a co-worker who shows up and does what they need to do or you're stuck doing their work too. If you are working the closing shift, you have to sift through a bunch of damaged products and put them in the correct departments while putting carts away outside and still sweeping on time. The only good thing was that most of the older co-workers were cool and were down to help you if you needed it (at least at the store I worked at). The managers were fine but you could tell they had favorites and would assign them easier tasks. Some days are really busy and you are constantly doing something while some days are slow. As a first job, it was fine but be prepared to be frustrated with not only other co-workers but customers too.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Customer interactions. This company is cheap and working conditions were very harsh. Management was unreasonable and non - cohesive. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There was no rules for all. They made changes to policies with no notice. It made it easy to just fire people or rake you over the coals when they felt like it. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not fair to all people. There is definitely prejudice that occurs.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I just did my best everyday. I hoped there would be no interaction with management.

A typical day at work; we, the employees arrive get into uniform, keep everything in place hygienically. Help customer on first come first serve basis(by numbers). Clean the backspace of meat counter. Fill in products continuously as needed, cut meat according to how customer orders meanwhile keeping a great employee to customer relationship that makes them want to come back just for you and the great quality product you presented the customer with.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The friendly atmosphere, freshness of produce ,the prices

To me a job is only stressful if you make it stressful yourself

A great safe working environment and a cluster of different cultures here at foodsCo 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day at foodsCo can be different for every associate, member of management the most important thing focused on is feeding the human spirit and making shopping here the best experience for our customers

You must have a high work ethic to work here. This place will test you at times but if you like to work hard and you love customer service then it can be the place for you. Nobody works harder than the Store Manager here and he is the example that is set. Every company is only as good as the Management. I have worked here with good management and bad management. They set the tone. There will always be someone crooked in the bunch and you have to be wise to the situation. Overall, this place can be a great place to work, but don't step on too many toes.

Foodsco gets really busy throughout everyday of the week so you are always working in a fast paced environment. The managers are absoloutley great but some of the staff isn't. They start you off as a customer first clerk no matter what and that part was pretty easy for me. I made the mistake of going into the bakery.. just dont. The staff back there trains you horribly and there was alot more drama than actual training. They told me I had to work on every single thing back there when there were specific people working on specific things. It was unfair to me as a trainee.

Very easy work. It only gets hard when lazy people don't do their work and when lazy management does not hold them accountable, which is always. If you're realiable and a hard worker be prepared to take on the work of others because you are the reliable one. If you don't mind the toxic environment and can stay away from the toxic people that will try to pull you into any drama, then working here shouldn't be too hard.

So when I started as a Utility Clerk I was cleaning, doing go backs and pushing carts. Mind you there's no machine to push your carts so you're on your own. They finally put me in Checker class but they do NOT want to pay you more than they should. They gave me a week of cashier then I was pushing carts the next week. There's no permanant hours. You can get 40 one week then 12 the next. It's good for starters but not pushing carts for a girl. It's hard to move up in the company unless you kiss up to them.

Managers are so disrespectful to employees at this place!! They (well, one spacificly) make people feel so small and it’s the saddest thing ever! If there are call ins they’re so stressed that they take it out on anyone and everyone who gets in the path. Another manger just likes to act one way in your face and another behind your back. Place is drama and just a joke! Good place to learn what you definitely do not want to do!!! Pay is just disrespectful ugh! Yuck!
