What is the best part of working at the company?
I honestly can't think of any.  They don't know how to adequately staff their positions and don't really train the associates and set you up to fail.  There seems to be a lot of turmoil within the warehouse and no seems to be happy with management.  They've lost some key positions, some due to resignations some do to firings.  Some were just and overdo and some weren't thought through.  Just not a good place to work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Never having enough work to fill your day and performing duties you weren't hired to do.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not a healthy environment and management could care less.  It's their business and they could care less what the atmosphere is like in the warehouse.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Chaotic to say the least, never knowing if you'll nave enough work to keep you busy until the end of the shift.  Associates will complain how the work gets distributed in certain areas but nothing seems to get done to fix things so the frustration keeps building.

I really enjoyed working there.  I started out cashiering part time and before my 90 days was up I was hired full time working in produce, as well as slicing of meats and cheeses.  I believe my Managers would say I was very dependable, team oriented, and very trustworthy. I would assist the customers, run register, bag groceries, stock and price candy, count teal at end of your shift. In produce I would help unload pallets into the cooler. Price and stock produce out on floor, rotate produce, get out the bad produce and it either gets reduced or written off, bag, weigh, and price potatoes, work on rework. In slicing of meats and cheeses I sliced, weighed, containered, wrapped with plastic, and labeled and priced. Taken out to the case for the customers to purchase. We also every morning go through the dates and labels and restock shelves. Throughout the day checking the cold cases to see if we need more product and also you want to keep the cold case nice and stocked and organized.

My typical work schedule was 7-3:30pm which included doing varies task such as restocking inventory, moving pallets/skids, counting product, and distributing the product to the proper place.
I learned that there is way more to keeping a grocery store maintained than just a couple people keeping everything full.
The management was exceptional because they tried their hardest to make shifts flexible and easy to work around, and they were always good about quickly delegating necessary duties.
Best crew of co-workers I have ever worked with. They were so relational and friendly!
Hardest part of my day was getting up at 5:30 to get ready for work.
Easy part of my day was getting into a groove and just hammer out work all day.

A typical day at work would be to come in clean register and get your day started to make customers happy. Management was amazing, they ususally tried to help everyone out to the best of their ability. Most of the employees started out together when the store first opened in winchester, va; therefore we were all like one big family. The hardest part of the job was trying to explain the outdated cereal boxes and canned foods! Everyday was pretty much enjoyable, I love to meet new people and spark up a decent conversation. I learned a lot from this job from money management to customer service to just having a good time at work. Every job might not be your ideal job, but you have to make the best out of what life throws at you. Its all about staying positive!

I worked at sharp shopper for 6 years .Each day was not a lot of variation upon the things that Happened the previous day . Either I was working in the cooler stocking drinks and milks .Or I work fried in which it still involves me going into the cooler and working on putting away 12 to 22 Pallets of dairy goods each day.

A learned a lot about time and space management as we'll as working efficiently in a cold climate controlled environment .We had to pay close attention to dates and types of products we were putting away on to our shelves and Designated areas .

As far as management goes it varied manager bah manager .My particular manager of my department personnaly did not like myself For some unbeknownst reason.  Upper management in the store did a pretty good job of regulating the store .

If you aren't managements favorite, be prepared for your schedule to suddenly change so that it's " fair".  Keep in mind it will only be fair to everyone but you.  Management does not like people who rock the boat, but they sure are shaking things up an awful lot themselves.   I use to love going to work, most who have been in our store for a while only are still there for the paycheck.  Lots of turnover the last year and a half. Corporate needs to listen to employees complaints and take them seriously. Quit telling us to stop calling you because you don't want to hear it!

I had some good coworkers and some lazy coworkers who got away with murder. Most of the time people were called in for unimportant offences and the problem employees were the favorites. The Hr Manager is the main problem and should be let go before she ruins an otherwise good company.

Promotions were at one point based on you work ethic, but the last few years it has been based on who you were, not what you do.

I find sharp shopper management very easy to talk too, they take time to listen and help you make your objective at work and when you need time to tend to your family.  they believe family comes first and I agree. and best of all the schedule is done to fit both needs, and they are closed on Sunday so one can spend time at church and with family

Sharp Shopper was a wonderful employer. I started there when I was in high school and they were always willing to work with me on my schedule and their hours made it possible to hold a job while doing well in school at the same time. I was able to spend time with my family on Sunday, which was a big plus when I applied. I was given opportunities to try new tasks and help wherever I was needed. The management was great and even when I was having an off day, I knew they would be fair with any tasks being assigned.

A typical day can either be extremely busy or very slow, depending on which week such as pay week or if there is a holiday coming up or if there is going to be weather problems. Hardest part of the job is trying to keep up with your own work while others need help as well. The most enjoyable part of the job is that most people who work there, including management are fairly laid back and relaxed.
