EG America purchased Turkey Hill Minit Markets from Kroger. EG's first focus was to state that it's employees were over paid. The SM is expected to be on call an 24/7 even when they are on vacation. ASMs took a pay cut when EG took over and discontinued their OT. which equates to at least $2,000 per year. FT employees lost their seniority with the company if they were employed less than 1 year. So associates and managers alike had to lose any accrued vacation and sick time the may have had. 

They are further expected to perform pretty much every job in the store in addition to their duties, like investigating theft, scheduling, ordering and so forth. EG removed the 3rd person from the day shift so that the manager cannot physically perform all their duties timely. 

They are more focused on burning associates for perceived loss than training and developing their associates. The majority of the paperwork completed for inspections is fraudulently completed. 

District Managers for the most part are a joke, they don't have the basic understanding of paperwork or store systems, all they care about is that the store isn't short on cash. Occasionally they will make store visits, where they will give you a long list of tasks to complete and regardless of the store conditions, will complain about what they see. NEVER any positive feedback. 

I have seen district managers and above berate management and associates on the sales floor and other stores. 

Training is probably the worst I have ever seen, they give out training checklists which disappear and are never completed. The manager usually assigns this task to an associate but never follows up with the new associate. 

Inventories at the stores are a joke, they use PICS that utilizes people that rather talk than perform the proper job function. Inventory is designed to make certain that managers do not receive their bonuses. 

The communication is very one way, and that is downward. 

DO NOT APPLY THERE

I have worked for turkey hill for 3 years, Kroger was great, if they took us back of be happy to continue working here. Since EG has taken over our hours have been cut on a regular basis, the drug test required for hiring has been removed, which means alot of incapable hires, we have been left in the dark regarding various changes (exp. We were told that our rewards system would be changing on a certain day but we're not given details as to what would be changing, so our communication with customers was poor and frustrating on both ends) and because Kroger cared they made it so EG couldn't make vast changes to policy for 2 yrs. Now that we are 1 year in our management that has been here for many many years no longer has incentive to keep providing  for Thier employees, because they will be removed within a year, Thier responses most of the time to large problems have become "oh...well shucks"(exp. An employee walks off the jobs with no authorization from management and is allowed to come back to work with no consequences, job abandonment is okay). The only way you get a break is if you smoke (a smoke break every 20 min is ok) or if you have to go to the bathroom, any other type of break weather eating or sitting down because of pain is expected to be multi tasked. Every week there are new requirements and each week they make less and less sense,( if your drawer is under by 1 dollar you get written up(which doesn't happen anyway) but if you are under by 2 dollars you have to recount the drawer). There is no communication between shifts or management, if you ask one manager to go home early because you are sick or whatever, the next time your in you could very well be pulled into the office to be told you can't leave without management approval. I'm sure I'm forgetting other things but these have been the biggest ones since EG took over, don't waste your time applying.

Simple job, simple tasks. Very little time to complete them. Must be able to do twelve things at once as efficiently as if only doing one. Very stressful. Still expected to be cheerful. Benefits and discounts are ok. Pay is tolerable at best. Similar jobs in the area pay substantially more. Upper management sometimes tends to not truly hear staff out. Hard to summarize an entire company based off one location. Other stores may be slightly easier or better as far as physical labor goes. Depends on location. At the end of the day, no matter what, the pay is not worth the abuse you take from customers and others. This company expects you to live, breathe and die Turkey Hill. If you are a manager, they own you. 24/7, holidays, weekends... Scheduling does allow for ease of requests off, if you can keep it. You never know day to day if your day off is actually a day off. Which is an easier pill to swallow if youre paid for the exchange.

In order to make enough money to pay a few bills, you'll need to be in management (key associate, assistant manager, or store manager). Your life then revolves around constant phone calls, schedules changing every single day, going into work on most of your days off, and needing to work at other stores (sometimes for prolonged periods of time, possibly 45 minutes away).

The pay is criminally low, especially considering the 24/7 availability requirement. You are never truly free from your store (or stores), and cannot enjoy time off. There is no employee discount, call offs are often punished in subtle ways, benefits are VERY expensive (while simultaneously being too expensive to use), and it's possible to work five different shifts in one week, so forget about a sleep schedule.

Corporate FREQUENTLY creates new reports that need to be completed daily, often by a certain time. Everything needs to be stocked and cleaned at all times (inside and outside), there are limits to how many customers can be waiting in line at a time, and stores are given prohibitively few hours to schedule employees. All of this combined means that things are often not done - but there are no acceptable excuses, ever. You're working by yourself all day in a busy location because three people quit on the spot? Not good enough. And you will NOT get a raise, barring possibly a $0.25 annual one.

This company was very unprofessional the entire eight to nine months that I worked there. A lot of drama everyday and the employees are extremely rude to each other and some of the customers that come in. If you decide to ever work at one of the stores, I advise you not to choose the one on south Hamilton road ( the store I worked ) or the store on east broad street and nelson ( that is one of the worst stores they have in the entire Columbus area ). There are no benefits and you are expected to work eight hours with no breaks. The  staff are always late to their shift and there are no penalties against them. I once stayed until 12 midnight two days in a row because staff were late. My shift ( which is second shift ) would always get yelled at for work not being done when we're the busiest shift and get the most done out of all shifts. Every day I came in to work the coffee or tea hadn't been brewed for hours and the store was a complete mess. Bother the main and assistant manager worked first shift and did nothing the entire time but eat and go on smoke breaks every five minutes. My shift never had a manager and a lot of things I learned I had to learn by myself from watching others. I never had the proper training they just think you're automatically supposed to know how to do everything. I will never work here again and I do not advise anyone else to work here

The worst company I have ever worked for. Upper level management communicate in an antiquated and tedious manner. They say one thing and do another, follow through is very difficult to achieve. There is a serious break between the upper management (the corporate structure) and the store personnel.  A regional manager can be quoted stating that "all hourly employees are liars, cheats and thieves." on several occasions. During manager meetings and while touring stores on the sales floor, these are the kinds of statements made. This is the mindset of those in charge, they preach team work and great customer service, but they make their employees feel like they are nothing, untrustworthy and disrespected. Store managers routinely work an excess of 70 hours and the reputation of the company makes it very difficult to hire anyone, let alone qualified individuals. Not to mention the very low pay scale for hourly employees. Most stores are under staffed and constantly reprimanded with little done about the lengthy hiring process (an excess of 3 week possible) an lack of applications coming in. There's an old saying that "the fish rots from the head". This company is a prime example of the corporate structure needing to be seriously revamped.

As the summery stated, we were a very short staffed store. I pretty much worked a swing shift varying from 3 2nds and 2 3rds each week. My hours were cut to 2 2nds once the virus hit, as they shut down for 3rd shift to  accommodate for the curfew imposed in Pennsylvania. The only reason I left my job after 17 months of faithful service is because of family issues that forced me to move out of state.

My manager was pretty hard nosed, but fair at the same time. I respected her. The only major issue I had is the fact that she would review the camera footage of the previous day EVERY SINGLE DAY to make sure we were doing what we were supposed to do, and not standing around doing nothing. The only times it really got on my nerves was when she thought we were just standing behind the register doing nothing (front/face/clean/etc) in between customers, but it was so busy on 2nd shift that there was only a couple/few minutes in between having a customer at the register, and nothing could humanly be done besides waiting on said customers.

Anyways, I enjoyed my time there, and absolutely loved 3rd shift (I like working alone.)

My day usually consisted of coming in early and taking counts of everything that we had in stock to make sure that we were going to have enough to last the whole day and night since we were open 24 hours a day. i learned very quickly that you had to make sure that counts were correct or you would have to tell people you couldnt make certain things. Overall that lost some customers. After working there for a while i did become a manager there for the station that i was working in, my boss wasnt there very much, it seems that after she appointed a new manager she didnt come in to work as much as she could have. My coworkers were very entertaining, always laughing and joking around but also getting there work done while doing it. The hardest part of my job was having to reload the freezers, i only say that because you would be sweating like crazy from pulling everything inside and then freezing from the sweat in the freezer. The best part of my day was always lunch. I'm not much of a lunch person while i work, but being able to make my own food the way i wanted to while i was there was great because i love to cook.

My day usually begins at 6 am. If the shift before me has done their job, I have little to do that early in the morning. I have learned a lot working at TH with time management, customer service and multitasking. I have had 9 managers in 3 years so you may look and say this job is problematic and you would be right. The workplace culture is employees coming and going and store drama, which I am not interested in. The hardest part of the job is lifting heavy objects like coffee urns filled with coffee. Worse that that is when an employee either calls off or just does not show up at all and you are on your own trying to get everything done. What I enjoy most about TH is the customer. We have regulars that are just fun to joke with and be around. That is what keeps me there and keeps me working sometimes beyond what I can do when left alone, We are down to 3 employees and have to close at 3 pm due to staff shortage. But I still love my customers.
