Frazier Farms

After working there for over 13 years as a loyal employee without a single write up or verbal warning, I was put on quarantine by my doctor who wrote HR a letter clearly stating that I was at high risk for Covid complications due to chronic asthma and history of pneumonia. After 8 cases and one employee death later, it was clear that the company was not concerned with any active measures to prevent the spread. They literally let a customer shop in the store with symptoms who refused to wear a mask, and fired my husband (also a 13+ year employee) for saying something. Soon after they deactivated my discount and without anyone contacting me, I emailed them to find out what had changed. They said that they decided to terminate me because essentially they didn’t want me to have my discount I’d earned while I had to quarantine. Raises were minimal, and upper management and HR were arrogant, reactionary, disloyal, and detached. The hardest thing was knowing what the company once was. Turns out the more you care and the more you make, the less job security you actually have. They are not concerned with cultivating an environment where hard work and loyalty are rewarded. If you want a job at minimum wage and you need a temporary place to work on your way to somewhere else, I guess this store would be an okay fit. This is not a job to plan your future with. At this point the values they project to customers are complete window dressing. Also if you are wondering there is no hazard pay during Covid.

While working at Frazier Farms I made friends I would have never made, which I am grateful for. All of my coworkers in my department and others were loving and fun, as well as the assistant store managers. My issues rooted in upper management. They are detached and cold to employees. Myself along with others, get scolded for being sick, needing time off, or having emergencies. They will passively cut hours if they are not getting what they want. They do not protect their employees. They send tiny sixteen year old girls, or young employees that are special needs out into the parking lot in the dark to get carts, with nobody else and no cameras around the outside of the store. The parking lot is always full of unpredictable and sometimes violent homeless people, and they don’t see an issue with this. Upper management and HR is very outdated and old-school. They lack respect and look down on employees no matter how loyal and hardworking an employee is. It really turned me off from the job. Also if you consider working here be prepared for some insane encounters with the homeless population, my encounters with them are beyond words. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The lower level coworkers

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Extremely busy customer wise, and constantly short staffed due to bad work environment 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful and upper management does not care about you

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
When I worked there, I didn’t know a single employee below store management who was happy with their job/compensation, and ESPECIALLY the treatment by upper management. People start working there and leave just as quickly. There is no training for departments, and the experienced employees get paid nothing extra to train people. They have no solid review policy, and they don’t even pretend to appreciate employees. The Frazier family who owns the company are all rude and disrespectful when they come in. Hard working employees would be preyed upon by management if they didn’t see eye to eye. Truly just a horrendous place

Do not work here unless you want to hate going to work every day. The environment is very negative and responsibilities are very unclear. There is no proper training, so expectations and duties vary based on which manager is on shift. Nearly every day coworkers and department managers would talk bad about higher up managers and other staff. There is no warnings or notice if management feels that an employee is doing a bad job, they either cut your hours drastically or simply do not put you on the schedule. If there is anything that you bring to managements attention, regarding pay, hours, etc., it is essentially a big game of telephone to relay your concerns from one manager to the next and no one ends up finding a solution in the end. It feels like you are back in high school with the amount gossip that people say behind your back (including management), which is why this is definitely not a good place to work at.

It doesn't matter how hard you work, you won't get anywhere. But at the same time, if you don't do your job or are constantly leaving, nothing will happen to you either. The good get all the stress and drama, leaving them all terribly burnt out while everyone else coasts by. Management will help out the department.. but only if you're the front end or produce, and occasionally juice bar or meat. This leaves departments like the deli drowning with being left with nothing more than an “oh well you’ll figure it out.”
I asked specifically about advancement opportunities or cross training and was told this was a great place for it in interviews. Another lie, they told me I’d get some type of promotion/raise to match the workload that they gave me (much more than everyone) but never did. They did the same thing to countless others.

Pay is laughable. They will give you a raise right before minimum wage increases so they can match it. You'll be making as much as a new hire who scrubs the floors if you've been there for a year even. The assistant store managers for the most part are good, but the store directors are the worst. If you do become a manager, you'll be set up for failure unless you brown nose. Be prepared for empty promises and a schedule that comes out 2 days before the next week, so good luck at planning anything. 401k and health benefits are "there" but are probably the worst I've ever been offered at a job. The Frazier brothers are cool once you get to know them though.

Each day consists of taking customer orders in the deli of sandwiches and deli meats along with working the juice bar taking organic juice and smoothie orders. 

I learned the meaning of teamwork, communication and time management. 

Everyone has such a great attitude, most really know how to make it an enjoyable place to work.

Hardest part of the job would be lack of communication  between different departments that work together.  

I really enjoy working with the people that i do as previously stated. They all have a great attitude and really bring that to the work field.

Started out amazing. I worked my butt off proving my expierence and potential only to have it brushed under the rug. Management says 1 thing does another then acts ignorant as if the conversations never happed. You can't but someone who is capable of driving sales, improving morale and loyal in a box like a robot. The truth is I would have stayed forever til the day I was given a "direct order" to talk after I repeatedly said I didn't want to talk. After that incident I knew it was over things will never be the same

Frazier Farms always has great social energy, but the management is very cheap. Many people get their one dollar “raises” before minimum wage goes up. Their contracts are also very sketchy as some people weren’t even considered for a raise until almost 18 months. The management is very loose and it is very dependent on who is there for the day. Many unfair things can happen or put upon you, and if something like covid comes around there is zero compensation. Many people left Frazier because of lack of compensation for the obviously harder, strenuous work when compared to other jobs. 

It’s a good enough place to work - flexible schedule, benefits, annual raises etc. But if you’re looking to move up there’s definitely a lot of favoritism.  I enjoyed the time I spent there and learned a lot, definitely gained a lot of valuable experience.  The job is frustrating and tedious at times like anywhere else and they like to pull employees from different departments to help in other departments. It’s a good enough job but I wouldn’t expect to move up there unless you know the family or upper management. Not a lot of room to grow and management can be disorganized at times. But overall it’s a fine place to work.
