Josephs Classic Market

a typical day at work, i would come in check the catering board to see if i was needed to deliver any caterings. thereafter i would make a walk through around the store to see what items needed more product out or what products that has not been put out on sales floor. then i would go to the back an gather all the items i needed to refill shelves or displays. then as the hour progresses i would take in all shipments sign off invoices, double check the shipment to make sure it matches invoice. 

i learned how to log in vendors and put together invoices, also how to pay out vendors with petty cash. also i became knowledgeable on how to start making orders for products that i needed for my department as well as for other departments.

my co-workers are great all team orientated, great atmosphere.

Management was fairly well, the thing was they would have me do other dept. jobs as well as to take care of my own department. would send me out of store when im needed to be on floor making sure my team has enough efficiency to get all shipments an pallets out.

the hardest part of my job was not being able to stay in my own department. 

most enjoyable part of my job was making everything look nice, and organized, displays looking really strong.

Typical day at work?! Getting yelled at for every little thing by the store manager and being yelled at/ called names 
What have I learned from work?! Absolutely nothing 
Management?! Non-existent and plays favorites 
Workplace and culture?! There isn't any 
The hardest part of the job?! Being told you aren't doing your job well enough, watching managers play favorites, customers trying to get you in trouble for everything no matter what it is, managers not having your back or believing the lies customers will tell them, you can get fired over the smallest things (my store manager fired two people for not smiling), when hired full time is a joke. You have to take a 30 minute break so in reality you'll only be working 36 to 38 hours. Not 40 like promised, they will change you schedule without notice, they will work you like a dog when it's busy season and cut your hours so much in the off season. Some people will only work a day in the slow season or be cut altogether, managers don't do their job and like to hide in the office all day. 

Arguably the worst place to work due to poor management and some customers. Back door is left open at night after close which is a safety hazard. Managers nitpick the smallest of things here and treat you like you're a little child or not even a human being for no reason. Paid breaks for long hours are hard to come by. They have a very high turnover rate and seem to fire/terminate over the smallest of things that are not deserving of termination at all. Get called names/harassed by some customers and get called names by co workers and managers do absolutely nothing to resolve this or back you up. Will try to work you off the clock. Changes schedules behind your back as well. I would never ever recommend working here. 

The worse job I have ever had they attract you in by making promises about a promotion to store management if you live up to there standards, however they're standards are so high its impossible 50 -70 work week's for managers and the owner and managers aren't pleased unless you work overtime. Your expendable if they don't like the way you work. During the holidays expect to work 16 hours if ur a manager and come back 5 hours later. Absolutely no training was provided and that's how they expect to run a company. Don't recommend for anyone.

A break down of everything that’s happened to me in the 8 months I been there, 1) got promised a position and a certain amount of pay (never got it) 2) then proceeds to tell me I’m not really for the manager position yet and to (work on it) 3) got accused of sexually harassment by a rep for the company because of jealousy 4) you have to pay for everything you are thinking you would need to work (shirts, hats,food, water, name tag 5) overtime is mandatory and will work you 80+ hours a week and then try to hide some of your overtime hours  6) the store manger told other employees that I wasn’t a good guy and no one should trust me or talk to me

Store managers are unprofessional and rude, snapping out orders, throwing tantrums, gossiping about employees, backstabbing and lying about hours, customers, other employees.  Turnover is sky-high in this cliquish cabal of floor and store managers.  Employees warned me to carefully scrutinize my paycheck for missing hours and overtime - and they were right.  
The owners seemed okay but the vast majority of employees have little to no contact with owners.  In fact, store managers discourage any interaction with owners going so far as to hush employees or rudely cut them off if they're 'caught' speak with owners.
Nightmare.

I was hired as a part time cashier. The people that work there are VERY nice, and at the same time, miserable. The store needs more airflow in the front-end. They make you buy the company shirt which is polyester, super hot material, and I sweated alot. Barely any breaks. No employee lounge. So you either go to you're car, or sit or stand outside. There is no bagger, so you work harder. The registers are falling apart, the way they run things needs to be updated, looked at, improved upon. Pay was decent.

● Work-life balance
Many staff had and have covid 19 and management told us not to talk about it.
NO EXTRA CLEANING METHODS!

● Pay & benefits
I was promised bonuses and was not compensated for extra work

● Job security and advancement
Most people are terminated before first vacation pay

● Management
They value money over your safety and it is NOT an equal opportunity employer.

● Culture
I have seen a number of health and work force violations

● Overall
To be clear I had many good co-workers.
The safety and fair treatment of staff is a major problem. The secondary concern is food safety which is scary.

What is the best part of working at the company?
No comment...too much management that have no clue! Slavelanda!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Hard work, no employee recognition period. Being in the food industry most of my life, never seen anything like this! Also turnover of employees unheard of!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Slavelandia...you figure it out...

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Short lunch break...grueling break down...

Management treats the employees who are family well. All other employees are extremely disposable. They are always understaffed, and overtime is mandatory. I had the worst work/life balance to the point where my mom took ownership of my pets because she was helping me out so much-- I'd be at work for 12+ hours some days. They sell food, however employee food (and water!!) is not free or discounted. Seriously, no water for employees. It's an environment that will really break somebody's spirit, and I'm a generally happy person. This place caused me to give up working in food.
