NetCost Market

From the experience I had, Netcost is a pretty decent grocery store, with a selection of European, but primarily Russian food products that are very difficult to otherwise find depend on where one lives. This means that a large section of employees and customers have heritage from the ex-Soviet countries, and more than likely know Russian. This does not mean that you have to know Russian to work at Netcost, but does mean you will be consistently encountering foreign speech, particularly when dealing with customer inquiries, who may approach you assuming you know Russian. Apart from the cultural aspect, store operations are what you expect from any grocery store. Cashiers stand for long hours, deli workers constantly need to go into freezers, the kitchen is busy, and unloading requires physical exertions. Training is not difficult for most positions, but also means that most open positions are repetitive. This could be irritating to some people when taking into account the simplicity and reiteration of the same tasks for months on end. However, others can find comfort in the day-to-day of the work environment. Management is not especially harsh unless you are incompetent and actively disruptive. Cashier turnover is high, but other jobs can have people work for years on end, meaning promotions are as much based on hoping that someone leaves, as being a great worker. Compensation is expectantly low unless you work behind the culinary/deli sections or management. Breaks are half an hour at most.

During my tenure as a Call Center agent at NetCost Market, I encountered a range of challenges. The majority of our customers were post-Soviet elderly individuals who required assistance with online orders, often resulting in interactions with frustrated clients due to order issues. Unfortunately, the low salary, cramped office with no natural light, and a lack of personal space made the job even more challenging.

One significant concern was the disparity between our compensation and the demands of the job. The meager salary did not match the emotional toll of handling irate customers daily. Additionally, the management at NetCost Market appeared disengaged from the call center department, resulting in minimal support and a feeling of being unheard.

Despite the difficulties, our close-knit team provided comfort and motivation, making the job more manageable in hard times.

Work started early at 8:45am until 9pm or later. Everyday in the beginning of the day I had to count money in cash register, and in the end of the day to check if there a right amount of cash  in the register.
Had to serve people at cash register, pack their purchases and sort food into bags. Receive payments from costumers in Cash as well as credit and checks. Also learned how to make returns and help costumers with their needs. 
Management was very nice, they always helped in the beginning when i did not know something. 
Coworkers are mostly from my native country and young, I made a lot of friends from there. 
The hardest part was to stand for 12 hours behind the register, legs were in pain in first few month.
The enjoyable part was to receive tips and communicate with interesting people.

Working at NetCost Market has been one of the best professional experiences of my life. This is truly the best team I’ve ever been part of — people here are supportive, motivated, and passionate about what they do.

The company has ambitious goals and carries an important mission that I’m proud to contribute to every day. I see tremendous opportunities for personal and professional growth here — both in terms of self-development and career advancement.

Many of my colleagues have moved up quickly within the company, and I’m inspired to follow the same path. I’m genuinely grateful to be part of this journey and to help move the company toward its vision.

I worked as a grocery stocker so all I did was put stuff on shelves and managing inventory. On days there are deliveries there's always something to do, but when there are none? Pace back and forth and keep making things look nice for 8 hours I guess. 

I only worked for 2 weeks during the holidays and they fired me with 0 prior notice, they hired me the day after I applied so I guess I can't really complain. 

The store is pretty high quality but upper management seems very corporate and results-driven. 

Oh, and everyone speaks Russian except for ~1-2 co-workers. If you don't you will feel left out, and you will have to tell customers several times a day that you don't speak Russian when they ask you to find something for them. 

I had a very disappointing experience working at this company. The management was disorganized and often showed a lack of respect for employees. Communication was poor, and expectations were frequently unclear or constantly changing without proper guidance.
The work environment was stressful and not supportive, with little to no recognition for hard work. Opportunities for growth were limited, and employee concerns were often ignored. Toxic working environment. Management resolves all disputes by threatening to dismiss all department staff. Minimum wage. 
Overall, I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a positive and professional workplace. 

Simple cashier job, minimum wage, long hours, but flexible schedule. Perfect for anyone looking for part time. 

The Mangers are great and will work with you. Co-works are nice, friendly, and professional.

Remembering certain codes for produce is a must, that's how you check products out, having a good memories is a big big plus in position.

Hard parts of the job are dealing with rude customers, standing on your feet for several hours, and lastly back pain due to standing.

Enjoyable parts are meeting new people, having conversations with customers, learning how to work a cashier register was pretty cool, and of course becoming familiar with the differences between all sorts of herbs, fruits, and vegetables.

Working as a stocker at NetCost Market gave me experience with inventory, shipments, and product organization. A typical day involved unloading deliveries, restocking shelves, rotating products by expiration date, and helping maintain cleanliness in the store. I learned how to work quickly and efficiently, often independently or with a small team. Management provided clear instructions and support when needed. The hardest part of the job was lifting heavy boxes and working during busy hours, but it was rewarding to keep everything organized and ensure customers had access to what they needed. Good job for those who are reliable and don’t mind physical work.

 I cashiered here for 10 months. One of the only POC at the time. It’s was only two of us. The employees and some customers were the ONLY pleasant takeaway from this job. Management is incompetent. They never know anything and always need to ask Nayda for assistance. The schedule is horrendous and they aren’t considerate of other personal responsibilities whether told ahead or emergencies. The police’s and prices change frequently.  They never adhered to proper health guidelines and employees were always getting sick w/ COVID. 

Managers let customers yell at workers for mistakes caused by poor management. For example, items will be shown at a certain price in the store but will not be updated in the system immediately. Customers will yell at you for "overcharging them" when cashiers have no control over the prices of items. 

Managers receive a larger discount on purchases even though they are paid significantly more. 

The attitude of management is atrocious. Shift managers and supervisors speak to workers like they are children.
