Overall, it's a decent place to work at with a few problems. Friendly Co-Workers, good but lazy managers, decent pay for full time workers and part time, terrible consistency of hours, terrible customers that leads your department to be way more complex than it needs to be. I HIGHLY recommend you read the extra detailed parts of this, though it is a bit long. 

If you're planning on working at a supermarket that you never worked at before, and/or never had a job, then this place is a good start for you. Though, if you're planning on working there for the long run, then good luck to you, and I hope the best for you. 

Unless you have a management position or a position that higher than a normal clerk, then you might be alright of having it as a long-term career considering you get 1 dollar extra to your hourly payment every year. 

Depending on what position you want to apply to, there are certain difficulties. If you're into working the Produce Department, then you want to keep a fast paced and high tolerance to the customers, since it is the hardest department as there are a lot of rotating the items, cleaning up the empty boxes, bags, etc and unloading the pallets you receive, and cleaning the tables. That means, take off the produce items off the table and deep clean the tables till its fresh looking, and put back the items where they were. If you want to kill time, then unloading a new pallet is something you want to do. The manager's is usually well organized and wants everything to look good and will criticize you if you are not perfect. 

If you want something easier, then the Meat and/or Grocery Department is for you. The meat will have you put price tags on the items, which is the most complex thing in the department. In the Grocery, you only have to put up boxes and cans and stuff, though you do have to keep it organized and keep the empty boxes away but is a bit less easy than the Meat.  


The managers are often strict when they have to be, but they aren't rude. They know when to let loose and have a bit of fun every now and then. They are often forgetful as I have asked to switch departments and teach me something I needed to get trained in, but they haven't. Instead, they put two people in the department I wanted to work in and keep me in the department I wanted to leave, and I was never taught a simple task that I have constantly reminded them to teach me almost a year ago. The job is often really bad at giving you 40 hours, if you're looking for it. Any part time workers are hardly given hours, especially the cashiers, who are done dirty the most as they are given the least number of hours in the entire store. 

The managers will often pull you away from your current duties and put you somewhere else temporarily when they can easily do it themselves rather than sitting in the office giggling, which is something they often do. They can also pull you from the department you're working in and put in the cash register to fill in for the cashiers that called out so they can be lazy, or just stopped working there because they know that their hours are terrible. Even if you aren't a cashier, they will still put you on the register. And if you have a mental illness like anxiety or what the case may be and cannot work the register, then forget it. They won't care until you are up there. And the managers never work the register, unlike the previous managers that have worked the store, who used to do everything. 

The Co-Workers there are pretty cool and the best part of the job. I get along nice with them and have a good laugh, and even where you come from, they still treat you like a human being, and we all have a lot in common which that is the customers. The customers are easily the worst part of the job. They're rude, needy, bossy, stupid, picky, annoying, and brings their kids in who are terrible at watching them and cannot tell them to be quiet or cannot tell them to not fool around in the store. And since our security is complete horse poo poo, they can easily steal something from the entrance and get away with it whenever they want. Some of them shop all the time and still to this day, doesn't know on how to use the self-checkout properly, and sometimes asks for boxes of items and won't leave any more for the other customers to get. They will also get mad at you if tell them "We do not have this item today" like if you're the one in charge of the items that everyone wants to buy and will tell you "Can you just check in the back?" when you know for a fact that the item they crave, isn't in the back. Do not work here if you have a low tolerance for the customers. They can easily bring you down and destroy your mental health. 

Price Rite has lost the ability to balance Life/Work. Upper management has no concept of what the day to day pressure is in their stores anymore. They have lost touch with the day to day operations, and ABSOLUTELY would not survive if they had to run a store the way they expect our management staffs to. They handcuff managements ability to run and manage the teams by requiring ALL hiring and firing decisions to be handled by HR. The problem with that is not one of the HR reps have ANY management experience within the retail world, and rely solely on written rules and regulations, which while absolutely necessary, need to be applied in a real world setting. Management is expected to staff the stores as minimally as possible and then expect that part time workers will be sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring for extra hours. When a team member is not available, management ends up picking up the slack. And the team member is then looked upon as "unreliable" and targeted for termination. They sometimes expect $9.00/hour people to perform at $18/hour levels for months and years before any possible shot at full time. There is no room for mistakes-as soon as a team member makes one, they are on their way out as far as the "Executive" staff is concerned. They have no time for training or learning, but almost demand that anyone and everyone off the street be already versed in the "Price Rite Way". They just can not seem to figure out why their turn over rate is so ridiculously high. They are 100% focused on numbers on a sheet of paper and have no human interaction skills or understanding. They fear the union but are actually far worse than the union. They have the all the power and none of the responsibility. I have witnessed countless good people lose their jobs for mistakes that most if not all other companies have policies in place to use as teaching guides for people that do not have the advantage of middle to upper class upbringings and those people would have grown with and made Price Rite a better place had they been allowed to grow with the company. With Price Rite, you had better be perfect at all times, no matter the circumstances, or you will not last long. I am not sure how much longer many people will last, but I DO know that far more then they think are actively looking for other employment and they are in danger of losing many good people and have no one ready to replace them. Too bad because it used to be a fun place to work. The fun ended a long time ago, and it ended because of who they have lost, not because the jobs changed. That falls squarely on the Executive Staffs shoulders, not that they would ever admit it or even have the understanding to see it for themselves. Arrogance will be the downfall of Price Rite as a positive place to work. Money isn't everything.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Customer interactions and food brings people health and happiness 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lies and being over judged during a world epidemic 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Staff meetings and dually talented supervisors that always helped lift a triple challenge and complete the shopping experience without criticism but guided teamwork and forgiveness after major protocol changes when staff were not notified or felt overburdened by a myriad of oscillating information that was in constant flux. I will forever love all the people I worked with during a major epidemic and hold them close in my heart always, it was a triumph every day to leave work and share the growth.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive a bit early with a well formed hygienic presentation with a conservative approach so nothing gets caught in your cashier belt like baggy clothing or hair in your face. AlwYs greeting your fellow company and customer workers without over engaging so people feel at ease. Be ready to do the proper counting and subtracting and able to ask enough questions and answers with respect to how to know time limits and constraints but I’m going into too much detail now.
Every work environment sees the difference in the season and the drive to stay dedicated and up to speed with different priorities. Being accurate and knowing how to help make an adjustment to the need of the customer without much fuss or judgement with due diligence and patience is necessary and has to be reminded to the people that need to learn or have the ability to learn in one area and rotate to another. Without humiliating another’s feelings or intentions is a skill that is always different every day if a complication arises and won’t back away especially with some customers that can’t express well and need e tea guidance and friendly support. Most days don’t have that issue but it all depends on how the environment is maintained and keeping with the trend of hygienic and cheerful displays and order and humor when and if their is time for it.
But again I’m rambling. So many angles in a days work.

I was with Price Rite longer than I should have been. I've started as a cashier and was 'promoted' to more stress and same pay. Overall, this is a good place to start if you're looking for a quick job. In other words, if you can walk and breathe they will take you.

Let's start with the pros:
+Flexible scheduling
+Benefits
+Easy Job
+Friendly Coworkers

By far, I had some great times at PR and it was thanks mostly to the people that worked there. (Excluding a few bad apples) And being a college student, the flexibility really gave me time to focus on my studies.

Now the cons:
-Condescending Management
-Part time only (20-30 hours)
-Pushing Carts (regardless of weather)
-Pay (minimum wage)
-Assistant Manager

One of my issues is the way management would sometimes speak to me. They would speak to me in such a condescending way at times. It could range from a 'kiddo' type of tone to a 'did you really just do that?' tone. In addition to having one of the assistant managers being rude and disrespectful, it lowered my opinion of management. This isn't really a big deal. However, my concern is in the pay and work involved.

As a male cashier, pushing carts in the heat/cold for the bottom-of-the-barrel pay isn't appealing to anyone. And having to rush in to the store to run the cash register on top of that while others will chill+slack off made me lose my drive to work there. I didn't receive enough acknowledgment or pay for my work.

Overall:
Not that bad of a job, but this place should only be a place-holder There are better job opportunities out there than PR. And management isn't as bad as I made it out to be. They are supportive and friendly, with the exception of one of the assistant managers. There were good and bad, but like I said don't over-extend your stay here. You're better off working for Shoprite.

I worked produce longest there, If you're working overnights you'd clean all the tables for the produce to go on. Bring them out onto the floor in the proper organization and stock them as neatly and full as you could. I learned a fair amount of knowledge in the produce department mostly regarding different types of produce and how to prepare it. Management was a big problem at the location i worked at. For example you would hear stories from the assistant managers and other employees who've been there long enough to know these kind of details... Managers there would split the remaining funds left over from each purchase to restock the stores. This doesn't sound bad until you would have regular customer's come in to ask about if you have a particular item in stock and you would get the date for your next shipment for them, just for them to come back in after then to ask if you have it and you do not. This was an entirely too common of a case. One time i also had a General Manager of multiple store's insult me in front of other staff, asking if i was poor because my white shirt had dirt spots on it ( I worked in produce where we constantly break down pallets of dirty boxes or bags of potatoes with dirt all over, this was a regular thing to happen) Highly unprofessional in my opinion. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the Managers if that wasn't obvious. The most enjoyable part of that job was literally everything else, It was a nice grocery job especially for a first job. The staff that were assistant mangers and lower were all pleasant and helpful.

I am a,cart pusher and a porter and it is horrible.
As a cart pusher, its annoying, repetative and overall just not worth the money they are paying me.
The customers are lazy. They don't even pick up their own trash.
They leave carts in the mudd, throw them into the cart bin in a sloppy way. They don't care. Carts are flipped over. Customers even throw carts at me in a thrusting motion full speed and i have to stop them.
It doesn't matter, how cold, hot,wet or sick you are the managers don't care. You better push those carts like a good boy. You are a slave nothing more. Kunta Kente style.

Being a Porter, really hurt my pride. I clean the disgusting bathrooms. People clog the toilet with feces all the time and defecate on the floor and i have to clean it up. I don't say anything but i just do it.
I even have to clean up vomit, empty trash bins and clean the break room.
The employees...well some are just sloppy. They don't clean up after themselves and they have the nerve to call themselves adults? The trash can is right in the room...why is it that hard to throw your trash away?

After all of this, when i clock out i feel humiliated, and not even appreciated.
They should treat the porters and Cart pushers better. We are doing the dirty work.
Until then, i don't recommend anybody to choose this job.

I am too smart to be mopping floors snd unclogging toilets and pushing carts back and forth like a robot.

Where do I start with this place? 

There are honestly good people who work here. Most of the folks do care about their employees and coworkers and do view them as honest people, and while finding honest people to work is hard nowadays, the ones that are there do good work, even if they are shafted.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for advancement. Unless you are full-time, there is no room for growth whatsoever. Expect to be stuck in that position forever, without a shred of hope for moving on up.

Corporate has been a disaster, with some slightly questionable protocols, partially unreasonable demands from employees, and dubious ethics that make me shudder. I am also truly worried that something may come of writing this review, so take that as you will.

The location that I work at isn't awful, but has gone through enough terminations, firings, and employees leaving on their own volition that over the one year I worked there, somewhere between 35 and 45 employees came and went, and those that are still there have either been there for 5+ years or about ready to walk out the door should something arise. I myself have been the only cashier (Out of 5-7) to ever come in a couple of times, leaving those that are working to pick up the pieces.

All in all, a truly bad experience that isn't worth the time

I worked there for about a year and will say the managment itself wasn’t horrible. I was accommodated schedule-wise when it was possible and definitely given some leniency when life got hard and my attendance took a hit. But everybody there is LAZY. I always had to step out of my role to help others and would even be threatened with a write up when I focused on my position, if it made certain team leads have to work harder. People would leave messes in my station from my day off that would set my work back and I often got asked to stay several hours longer. All while making 15/hr with no sort of raise. 

The enviorment is 50/50. Lots of inappropriate teen boys whole subject you to hearing things you don’t want to, work upfront. The men in the back are friendlier. A lot of people cannot hold conversation well and if you aren’t helping them, don’t really care to. Pretty normal, I suppose. 

Management DOES play favorites. I had coworkers who would leave hours earlier every day and come in late and never be in trouble. Meanwhile, others got written up for skipping lunch once or twice. I think if you intend to work with freight or shelving or something overnight it’s a good job. Otherwise, it’s tedious. 

I am a former employee for this place and it’s honestly an easy and okay job for younger people, definitely not for lifetime. But, other than that, the employees and myself should definitely be paid more. I don’t understand how PriceRite will remove the higher pay we received during “state of emergency” for COVID 19 because everything opened back up, yet we’re basically still in a state of emergency. We still have to wear a mask, the store is still opening at an earlier time frame for the older people that can be easily more exposed to the virus, then when it used to (used to be 8AM, now it’s 7AM). The virus hasn’t disappeared and we are still under rules and regulations that we have to follow because of COVID-19, so why do we have to have our extra hourly pay removed? (Extra $2 when it should be way more) It is unfair and we’re risking our life to even be there at work, yes we get our temperature taken at least at MY PriceRite but it’s not enough and we are still exposed. They even stopped limiting the amount of people that come in, so technically we should be paid way more. It’s not fair and I think it should be changed. Breaks are also very short, 20-25 minutes should be the break time. 

They want obligate employees to cross train in every department with no extra cash and no other option if you want to cross train or NOT.

The store manager dont like fix anything to benefit hes pocket, he is the only person to get the bonus while screwing and hurting the departments, having one person close the departments on busy days. 

The store manager bends back word for the costumers but for the employee NOPE. Theres no type of security in the store, instead of watching who is going to steal the cameras are there to watch the employees.

Some employees are disgusting, you can only call out once a month with sick days pay only ONCE a MONTH, If you find money you can't keep it because you're stealing, report it and ofter two month its your'es. NOT a desgrontal employee.

If you get to get a job in this store work with the produce department the manager there and he's employees are great the best team I have ever worked with, especially the morning crew they know who they are.
