Total Wine Spirits & More

The only good thing about working here is the knowledge you get to learn about wine , when you get a chance to breathe. They over work you and under pay their workers. 

 You’ll get assigned to do something then another manager comes to you and tells you to do something else , then a supervisor will come to you and tell you do something else , this place doesn’t understand you’re one person .

Managers and supervisors treat you like you’re just a body and don’t appreciate the hard work you put in during the 10 hours you’re there working . The work  environment is toxic , the supervisors sit at customer service and watch you on camera all day like you’re stealing money or something . They make you ask to go to the bathroom like you’re a child or something 

 You can have a dispute with a customer and even if the customer is wrong managers and supervisors would still take the customers side instead of standing up for their employees 

 Overall this place is not for their employees they only care about making money  for the store 

Come in and do my typical set task for every single shift I get.
After that I have ti find out where I'm being placed for the day since I started as a merchandiser but now I also do digital picks. Work place culture from management is that they grab eveyone to go to the register for the smallest of lines  to help the cashiers which are usually short staffed but we are also short staffed with almost every other department in the entire store.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great support network while working with the company, great coworkers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Hard to please every customer that comes through the door

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good bonding one environment where you get to closer to your co-workers

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Changes based on the time of day. Hectic at the peak hours calm in the low hours.

I like working here a lot.  Great coworkers, sometimes stressful work but they do things like buy everyone lunch and because of the company’s size scheduling is kind of flexible.  This is a high volume store and honestly everyone works super hard.  Wish I earned more for being a salesperson. I help lots of other people earn money, I don’t get any incentive for meeting goals. 

Coworkers were fun to work with.  Always kept the pace going, or helped one to relax when busy.  Did not have a true set schedule.  Worked either early AM to afternoon, afternoon to evening, or evening to early AM (when stock crew came in).
Asst Mgrs were easy to deal with.  Store Mgr needed some work in improving their attitude towards to workers.  A manager should treat the employees, as they would treat the customers.

joined the company to learn a new, fun industry. The complete opposite happened working there. Extremely toxic environment and no room for growth. They also trick you with salary by paying you less per hour but guarantee you overtime. Ex: offer 50k/yr which is whatever per hour. Let's say it works out to 25 an hour, they will pay you 19 an hour but pay you 10 hours of OT a week to get you to the 50k you were offered. not a fun place to work at all.

There is little to like about this place other than free wine on occasion and great co workers. The cheapest billion dollar company in the history of companies. Nothing is ever good enough. Can't make a liveable wage despite being a star employee.

Keeping the shelves full I got certified on the high low in Boston management was awesome giving everyone a chance to grow ,workplace culture was very multi cultural, I don’t think it was a hard part to the job ,the most enjoyable was traveling to other stores doing a reset or even helping if they were understaffed 

Supervisor up in the front is always on your case. Even if you’re helping a customer on the register and you’re getting a box or bottle for them, they will come up to you and ask what are you doing, why aren’t you helping customers? Even if you’re trying to improve yourself to not be on their bad side, they will never let it go

They are very unorganized any they under pay you,you have to do your work plus other people’s work who move slow or chose not to come to work.there is no advancement unless someone quits or gets fired.
