Good-Harvest-Market

I've worked here for a while now, and the one thing that remains consistent is the lack of communication amongst upper management. Everyone is constantly scrambling to try and make sense and order of decisions thrown upon them seemingly last minute due to no one ever being in the loop about anything. It's stressful, to say the least. 
Not only this, but employees are also expected to pick up the slack and do way more work than they should be. 
The one thing that could possibly make up for this would be fair compensation, which is also unfortunately lacking. Raises are made by seniority, versus work ethic which creates some unfair pay gaps between employees. I've known there to be people paid higher for doing less thorough work just based on how long they've been employed. The raises themselves are also super minimal when you do get one - so you'd have to work here for a very long time to actually start being paid a decent wage. 
To top it all off, the owner does not know how to run a smooth business. Employees are afraid to openly give reviews/opinions because they know it will just rock the boat, so everything is just swept under the rug. 
It is super unfortunate that a company with such a great mission and vision is being run so terribly. I hope that some day this isn't the case, but it is for now. If you are on the fence about applying, I would say to pass and find something else that pays more.

HR and assistant general manager being the same person makes ZERO sense. Any issue with another manager or employee brought to HR attention brushed under the rug and looked at from a company standpoint rather than with empathy. Owner condescending to most employees. Will make you do the work of multiple departments and pay you for just one department without any additional compensation for learning other departments. Will be scheduled poorly if you upset the manager. Saw departments knowingly keeping spoiler food on the shelves in hopes it would sell. Front end manager stirs pot with employee drama, will put on a fake face to employees when confronted and then talk about them behind their back, creates a hostile work environment. Complete lack of morale in the entire store, with zero effort in replenishing it. Will always put customers before employees, saw first hand customers making crude comments to employees and it was dismissed, customers insulting employees and it was dismissed. The lack of care management shows for their employees is downright appalling and every manager there should be disappointed with themselves. I would never recommend someone works here. 

Good Harvest Market is locally owned and community focused. I truly enjoy the people I work with and the customers I serve. The environment is not a corporate one, and the management team is an ever growing and evolving crew. The non-corporate environment is both wonderful for promoting inner growth and creativity, and at times frustrating for allowing room for sloppy internal practices and miscommunications. The natural food industry is strong and growing, and a good place to be right now. Being able to serve the community by offering healthier living choices and sharing knowledge regarding such subjects is definitely the best part of the job...it's very satisfying.

My experience at this job was fine, no major complaints. Some really kind and hardworking employees, and generally very kind customers. My main disappointment was from not being given the opportunity to be considered for a raise. At the time I worked there, you are reviewed for a raise at the end of your probationary period, and then after 1 year of employment. I was aware that the manager and leadership had a lot of their plates and they were delayed in giving reviews to many of their employees. I asked after 1.5 years of being employed, about possibly getting my review. The manager said straight out to me that she didn't have time to do that. The pay was only around 10/hr, but with already having had prior cashiering experience, and doing decently well at the job, it was disappointing to not be given the opportunity to get even a small raise.

I work with really great people and appreciate the mission of the business. I enjoy that the company is independently owned, focuses on local and sustainable products, and it doesn't hurt that it is in a beautiful location. The food served in their Hop Harvest & Vine public house is delicious, as are their baked goods and deli salads.

My shift starts with clocking in let you clock in 5 minutes early and you have a 7 minute period before you’re marked late. In my department we handle frozen,dairy and dry products. We work in different aisle we sometimes get help from other departments or the assistant Manager helps. I’ve learned a lot from Good harvest from being social with customers to working in the back. I love my colleagues and to me working there has been the big highlight of my life. 

The store itself is cool with some hidden gems. Managers are worked hard with minimal pay, and minimal staffing. Owners and upper management don't know how to run the departments and rely on their managers as “buyers” to be experienced and capable without training.  No one there knows much about health, and only a few people care about clean eating. Friendliness of staff and customers is a mixed bag.

Great part time job Customers were nice. Products were extraordinary!  The relationships with team members will last a lifetime. The millennial s I worked with were special. They really have compassion for the world. Working with students was always a blessing. The managers were easy to work with when there was an issue.  

I went to work every day did my job gave it 100% and always went home feeling great.

Good Harvest is a place that once things start to go good, management changes everything around. The employees who work with the customers are the ones who get the flack for it. Management doesn't know the saying "If it isn't broke don't fix it".
The employees are good people, but there is a high employee turnover. Customers are very enjoyable and I've learned a lot from them.

Best team of people I have ever worked with! Great employee discount so I can better enjoy the products I love as a customer. 

Can be stressful when short-staffed. Lots of turnover.
