URM Stores

Basically you want to work here if you want to spend your time at work not at home at all. Summer times are mad crazy, 6 days a week 10 hours a day unless youve been here like 10 years. After that they said it would slow down, it did for a bit but management can’t handle covid and can’t manage a balance between day and night workload, so all day workers work excessive overtime year round. On top of that you get sick and call off too much you get instantly fired, all the people who should get fired don't, all the people who shouldn’t might get fired for nothing. Empty promises are left from all the higher up management, they really messed up this place, came here looking for better pay realized life lesson don’t  take extra pay for the cost of spending time with family, friends and work life balance. 

URM Stores, Inc. is a cooperative grocery supply business with a heart for the small business-grocery providing industry.   Long established relationships with small business owners draws them to the table for efficient and small-margined profits for these grocers who are making a living and working hard to provide their families and communities the finest in customer service.  Team work with efficient upkeep of inventories; transport in a timely and cost effective manner; communication between suppliers and consumers all contribute to these effective systems which have sustained their long-standing success here in the Northwest communities of five states.   URM competes with Grocer giants and still "steals the ball" when it comes to providing excellent community minded service.

Growing company that is working hard to fix a culture that is very "dated".  Lot's of amazing people with amazing leadership that truly cares for their employees.
In the 2 and a half years I have been with the company I have seen so much positive feedback, and coming to the realization that they are not perfect, and know the areas they need to focus on to get better.
A lot of new initiatives put in place such as Corporate Training, amazing new Safety programs, Engineering, recruiting, and a ton of new managers to help incorporate all these initiatives.

More stressful than not, always something to be aware of, Safety !!
Sometimes being paid a good salary, adds stress, and could bring health issues.That its an great feeling when all the quotas are being met, and learning to be a much better listener to your employee's
Very good Management team, but towards my last days as a Supervisor, it started to change. Very good culture, normal problems but we as management had high standards for employee's to work as a team !! It works. Monitor, the employee's daily.
The hours , not so much daily, but by the end of the week, you were ready for some relaxation. Our management team, as far as I was concerned, and I believe the others would agree 13 total, would be in favor of how I felt. We did somethings together, such as , played golf, watched sporting events on TV. It was really good.

URM is a very challenging job with excellent benefits. The opportunity to learn various aspects of purchasing field are many. I've learned how to pay invoices, schedule 3rd party incoming freight, implementation of various ad programs.  How to set up items, allowances, new vendors ect. Most of the people employed at URM are very polite, enjoyable people to work with.  The hardest part of the job is that it is a very male oriented workplace with very little opportunity for females to advance. The management is very poor with little training in how to deal fairly with employees. The most enjoyable aspect of the job is dealing with the vendor and broker community's and learning about details it takes to run a food supplier driven workplace

Replying to the manager that said urm is a great place to work, that’s a lie without a doubt. I have been here longer than 2 1/2 years and the corporate BS that they are changing this place into is the worst work atmosphere I have ever been in. I knew someone close to me that worked at urm for multiple decades and that person would never come back with the changes that have been made here. The 97 1/2 years that this company has been around has worked perfectly fine and turned into a fine business until the US foods family came to tear it all down. Not a family friendly business anymore and I would tell anyone to stay far away from this business. Truly a sad deal for this company. 

URM's culture is one that has a lot of really great people. There's a lot of different departments, so a lot of management scattered throughout the entire company. The pay is on the bottom end of the scale, they only give raises once per year, and you work your butt off for little compensation. The benefit package is amazing, so that makes up for some of the bottom of the barrel pay. It's an okay place to work overall. My advice? Show up, do your work, don't make any friends, and call it a day. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great benefits, honest and transparent leadership, truly cares about their employees. Great work life balance, best I’ve evert had!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The grocery business never shuts down, so keeping everything flowing can be stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great work life balance, lots of long-term employees. Core business hours outside of operations is 7 am- 4:30 pm, but flexible start time depending on department.

Great place to work no matter what your experience level. The company has withstood the test of time in the transportation and warehouse industries. They have perfected the art of keeping their employees and customers happy. All of the equipment is top notch. Many long term veterans of the industry are happy to help newbies learn about the company and their values. Overall, I had a great experience.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting of work, This place sucks the life out of you, with no appreciation or loyalty for its employees. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being micromanaged by its management, with zero knowledge of modern tech knowledge.   

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Three tiered structure, Kings, peasants and slaves. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Total madness, lack of training or leadership.
