Market Street

As far as retail jobs, not terrible, but that speaks more about how bad retail jobs are in this country. The people who work here in lower positions are for the most part really friendly and (those who are left) are good at what they do. Managers in general do tend to care about their employees health and try to meet their needs re: scheduling. However, some managers will have employees they clearly treat different than others, especially when it comes to being at a disadvantage. They are slow to hire new people, and continuously losing current employees, making those left pick up more and more responsibility and tasks without more compensation. We are worn out and stretched thin, and any acknowledgment of this from management seems superficial and dismissive.

Raises are given annually, and recently have not been very high, especially compared to the rate of inflation. The head of the company has defended this time and time again, arguing that they are going off of cost of living statistics from orange county - something that many of us feel does not apply to us living in Wake County where housing and other costs have skyrocketed.

The parking situation is frustrating on a good day, with many employees having to park outside of downtown and walk about a half mile to the store (and then walk back in the dark, often alone, after close). Otherwise you can choose to pay for parking, something that feels like it shouldn't be necessary to do to come to work.

The biggest pros are the decent pay (for retail) and the people you work with, and considering the rising costs of everything and that many employees already have one foot out the door, I wouldn't put too much confidence in those. 

Each Weaver Street has it’s own management team and depending on your location really reflects the experiences you will have as an employee. Some locations are known for having amazing people that they keep for years and other have a heavy amount of turnover for reasons.  If you’re looking for a traditional co-op that’s worker centered, that’s not this place, given that the GM’s role is more like that of a CEO with a lifetime board member seat. It’s stated over and over again that there’s room to growth but, there’s far more gate keeping from people that have been around for a while and the people most likely to move “up the ranks” are the newest outsourced hires, than folks with experience who’ve been around for a bit. If you're enthusiastic you will be given more responsibility, please be prepared that you may later have to fight to be accurately compensated for that responsibility you’re given. Other than that it’s a typical retail environment that’s very easy to navigate and find your place in.

The pay is fine for a grocery position, and the lower-level workers are really cool for the most part. Management is absolutely horrible at communication, especially the new unit manager. Refusal to admit mistakes, take staff concerns seriously, ask questions, etc., consistently shifts blame onto everyone else. They are hugely incompetent. Obvious favoritism, lack of accountability, tolerance for mistreatment and misconduct from coworkers and management. They will pretend to care about you, especially HR - do NOT trust them. They only work for the interest of the bottom line. Unit manager has zero respect for anyone and values his time above everyone else's despite not knowing how to do basic tasks himself. Prepared foods food safety is often not followed, there is mold in the coolers, expired food on the shelves. I've seen German roaches crawl out from the shelves on multiple occasions.

As far as grocery work goes, customers are actually pretty decent. The discount for employees is also alright. The other locations are probably better to work for.

Most of the customers are decent. Pay is better than most grocery stores. Benefits part time or full time hours. Only major complaint is the same complaint I have had at all my customer service jobs- management trains you to do a job a certain way, and then the first second a customer complains because you are following protocol, a manager will change the rules all of the sudden, making you look like a jerk in front of the customer, who continues to feel entitled and that rules don't apply to them. That, and that they pretty much want you to give them 100% availability all of the time. No requests for specific days off every week, especially not a weekend day. No consistent schedules. 

I would not recommend working here (Raleigh location) to my worst enemy. It’s incredibly understaffed so you are always doing three jobs at once. You do not get paid for working multiple stations. You also don’t get paid for training others. The managers love to exploit the employees in this way. There is little to no professionalism. All of the good employees are burnt out and everyone else just makes your job harder. Management is not helpful, incredibly unprofessional, and does not respect work life balance. Also, the health insurance IS A SCAM. Almost forgot the terrible food safety and sanitation. RUN

I cannot reccomend Weaver Street enough. I have been treated well and my work acknowledged, this is a job that if you go in with an open mind and willingness to weather the storm of customer service, than it will have your back. From co-workers that care and look out for you to a non corporate atmosphere of administration, it makes it easy to really feel at home in my job.

I love weaver street market. Like with any grocery job, there are often long hours and the work can be physically taxing, but overall it is a great place to be a worker with many routes in which you can be heard if there are concerns, etc. Each store is different but overall, it is the best option out there if you want to make a positive impact on the community outside of the corporate/academic world. 

Good place to work overall. Made some lasting friendships and professional connections. Can be quite stressful at times but that was usually short-lived. Easy to get the time off you’re requesting, they’ll usually accommodating to any circumstances. High level of professionalism. 

I really enjoyed my time working at Weaver Street Southern Village! The people are great, most of the customers are great, and it really felt like a home away from home for me. It's still work of course and has all the plagues of the service industry (I worked register- doing the same thing over and over again for 8 hours straight definitely made me feel like a robot at times), but as far as jobs like this go, it really is a good one. Would definitely recommend!

Weaver Street really cares about the people that work for them. They always understand if you have something that comes up with yourself or your family and they encourage you to take care of yourself. They care about their customers and quality of everything they sell/do. They care about the communities they are located in and you really couldn’t find a better company to work for.
