Don't work at Home office, Bradley Fair. The other stores don't have as many problems. Mainly because HR isn't lurking and making issues out of nothing. This is a review for Bradley Fair. I also subbed at the Maize location. Much better atmosphere. I quit and worked my full two weeks after giving written and signed notice. I was not fired.

Once you get hired, expect to think it's all rainbows an sunshine in the first week or month, after that, you'll see the company for what it is. I won't lie, it gave me experience. Owners are nice, but seem to only care about the money now. I was there for two years. I stayed because I had a lot of great co-workers. Once they left, I decided it was time to move on. There was nothing left. They are full of empty promises. Firing people and telling the workers still there that "they weren't a GreenAcres fit". That was just coming from the owners. Some of the workers were great! Even the manager was upset about one person in particular being let go. But the manager really doesn't get a say in much. 
Incredibly toxic atmosphere.
Day shift and night shift are always at odds. Day shift is lazy, talks too much, never facing product when they have downtime. Night shift is too talkative, immature, doesn't get their stuff done on time(all we ever heard). Seriously, just get day shift to do more register time instead of standing there when there's a line of 5 people, cashier calling for backup multiple times, but the supplement help stands with their hands behind their backs staring off into space right behind all of the customers. I can't tell you how frustrated the customers got. The manager always hops on the register. He's great. Best part of the company. 
If you want a job badly, apply here. But keep an eye out for other jobs. Just don't tell them you're actively looking for another job or they'll cut your hours and tell you "your focus should be on GreenAcres". Which, by the way, I've heard of happening more than once. Don't become buddies with HR. You'll learn why.

Most of the co-workers and customers you work here with are amazing, I had never worked with more positive and friendly people. But, the happiness you find with being able to work with people you enjoy being around is quickly lost thanks to management. Everyone is on edge, nobody knows who will be fired next or what state the business is in. Meetings are required once a month where finances are discussed in percentages for each store. However, important notices about changes in the company are almost always left out. The owners seem friendly but need to build their employee morale and trust. When constant negative changes are made that affect the employees directly and employees are left in the dark, there should be no question to them as to why there is such a high turnover rate here. The company is running on a bi-polar mindset. The moment a mistake is made there is no warnings. You go from good employee to bad employee and soon are quickly removed. You cannot grow within in this company and promotions are rare, pay raises even rarer. Maybe if you were doing this part-time in High School this job would be okay. If you have a family to support and need something stable with decent pay I would not suggest working here. This place has the potential of being so much better than what it is. It is sad that the employees cannot leave as happy as the customers do.

If you want a real honest review... 
I love what this company stands for... it's all about living a healthy lifestyle and helping others navigate and learn about it. 
I've worked for many companies, corporate and family owned. This is the first time I feel like a company is family more than co-workers. 

I've been able to grow with this company since I got here. I moved up from my initial hired position as I showed the management/owners what my capabilities are. They love new ideas and allow you the freedom and space you need to grow. I've never felt micro-managed. 

When you work to your full potential, the possibilities are endless. Sure you gain more responsibility as you move up and the job isn't easy... but what job is?! I LOVE what I do and I love coming in every day. If you do your best, treat others with respect and work well as a team, you'll have no problems. Those that are willing to learn, do. Those that are willing to work, grow. 

What you aren't seeing and hearing are all those who actually loved working here but had to move on or those that continue working here for decades.... seriously, some folks have been here for decades. 

When owners talk about store earnings and such during meetings, they are trying to help employees understand where we are, our growth or how well we're dealing with the competition. It's about transparency not about greed. It's about keeping the doors open so we can keep going and stay employed! That's how it is for any family/locally owned business.

So, GreenAcres Market as a whole is a good place to work for, or so it seems like in the beginning. Most of the coworkers are great, there is a huge support system within the store that feels like a family. Upper management is strange though. The current store manager (at the time of my employment and post) is a great manager, if only he didn't bow down to the Assistant Store Manager on a whim. If you make a mistake, the ASM truly believes you shouldn't be trusted, and you will have your responsibilities, and keys taken away and stripped, and fired a few days later like I was. Two mistakes, and gone. (We're all human here).

However the ASM is makes comments towards other individuals race, so be aware. Countless times ASM would call over the intercom for a suspicious individual that was a person of color. This was confirmed by other coworkers, and I greatly enjoyed the moment ASM got a talking too by one of the Officers that responded to a incident that wasn't even a incident as the person STILL bought everything they looked at.

What's funny, is that you'll know you'll be fired before getting actually fired, LOL. I saw my job position a few days prior to getting fired. What a way to let your employee know what's coming before a discussion.

I worked here for about 6months. It was pretty difficult most days to complete my job because the place is so understaffed. I was going to come back from maternity leave but was notified that I was no longer employed. When asking for a letter of termination from HR it stated that I was "voluntarily terminated" and that my job had ended 2 weeks before being notified! 

I loved working with my coworkers and customers. However it is so hard to help customers due to being understaffed and the owners of the company keep changing their minds on hiring new people.

While doing my job upper management would make purchases out of my budget I used for my department. This made budgeting correctly difficult and we never knew when we would be getting more product that would need to be worked into the shelves. 

There are also so many meetings that staff has to attend weekly and monthly. This would literally take more than half the staff off the floor making it easier for theft to occur. Then the owners would blame us for sales not being low or because we went over budget replacing what the thieves took.


I LOVE my job and the environment here at GREEN ACRES MARKET. The Owners are the most outstanding people I have ever had the privilege to work for! I feel very blessed to serve them and the awesome Customers who frequent our store. Managers are outstanding, very fair and helpful, ready to assist employees and Customers alike.
 
I highly recommend all honest and hard workers to come and apply. Though this industry can be challenging as any other, it is very rewarding. Because of the Owners and Management, we are a family working together with the goal of serving our shoppers, providing excellent products at a good price and excellent customer service to all. 

I spent years on my own researching natural products, and learned much, but have learned a great deal more working in this store. From Co-Workers and Customers as well.

During my 9 years here, I have advanced in responsibility, but always with good pay increases to match. In my opinion, there are no Cons to working here, ONLY Pros!

Company  needs more boots on the floor, than heavy upper leadership positions.
Turnover is incredible and constant, due to wildly variant schedules,  low pay, and staff mysteriously being dismissed every few weeks.
Staff is very nice and tries their best to work to complete tasks that shift at a moments notice back and forth depending on which owner is in the store.
Forget family holidays-for a "family store"--you only get 2 holidays off a year...
The product is high quality and very fairly priced, and customers know you by your name, which is nice.
You will never get a raise, but you do get half off most deli food.
Hardest part of the job is steering clear of being in the line of fire for losing your job.
Most enjoyable is some of the staff that have a great sense of humor.
You also get to learn alot about the products if you want to-lots of opportunity.

What keeps me coming back? The feeling that I'm making a difference in people's lives everyday. I get to spend the day educating people about health and helping them decide what would be best to help them improve their health. It makes my day when people come back and tell me how much a particular supplement helped.
The owners and managers are all great people. It is nice working at a small business where I feel like the owners are invested in my development. 
There is a nice discount that lets you try all sorts of amazing and new foods, and there is always something new to try.
It can get busy or stressful at times, but that is the nature of retail. Besides, we have plenty of good supplements that help with that!

I started working here in Oct of 2013. I had always worked for family friendly, HONEST companies. Let me give you a nice head's up. With this company they care nothing about their employees, only their profit. There are 3 owners as well as their daughter, so 4 total in charge. They like to come off as being all about treating their employees so great so as to get the customers thru the door. But NEVER in my life had I seen so many employees treated so unfairly and let go over nonsense. They are very all about what they want, the employee is just a number. Use you and abuse you is a great term for it, I have never felt so hurt and betrayed in my life. A total waste of 11 months of my life I wish I had back. If you wanna be put down on a daily basis for every little mistake...power to ya. No constructive criticism in that place.

Staff mysteriously come and go, and you will never even know what happened...employees are  pretty uptight because of this and it stifles creativity and hardwork...people are afraid to make a mistake...so it's head down, and don't look up.
You will never see a raise....NEVER...so beware the $9.50 they will talk you into taking with promises of an increase...it will never happen.
Benefits are decent if you can afford it.
There are wonderful people working on the floor , and if you just want part time it can work for you.
Don't just talk to the HR,  or owners about working here...they will "ra-ra" till their last breath.
Ultra conservative owners with liberal staff makes for wacky times...
Talk to staff away from the store before making a decision to work here...
