Ukrops Homestyle Foods

I've worked at Ukrops for almost 10 months now. The gen pop are bigoted rude unhelpful disrespectful shallow petty people. It is very much supposed to be a team work inviroment , but everyone is out for themselves. And make up stories and shame people,, like hischool bullies. Its a very diverse place alot of different people! Sniching is rewarded, and praised while hard work is shunted. Stressful. People watch you and go behind you and tell management falsities to get you in trouble. The standards are different for different people. Some are help on a pedestal with no standard. And others are shoved below the ground but held to impossible standards. 

Typical day of work. Non stop, no time to breathe. I didn't learn anything new. Kitchen manager needs an attitude check. Hardest part, you don't stop moving till you get your break. 10% discount on food is a joke. There is nothing to enjoy about that particular job. Work in the front end. I loved it there. Regret moving to the kitchen. I was promised full time, to move to the kitchen. Then was told by the kitchen manager I had to earn that!. For 15$ an hour and the amount of money they make in an hour doesn't add up. Ukrops is not the ukrops we all grew up with. If I were you, I'd hard pass on this company. 

A typical day at work would be pulling orders for each department, followed by picking products for stores and inventory. I learn how to be self motivated and self starting here. Management was unbalanced due to some being aware and knowledgeable and some not but overall they got the mission accomplished. Mt coworkers were pleasant and easy to work with. The hardest part of the job was working in below freezing temperatures. The most enjoyable part of the Job was working with my co workers.

I love what I do, when I'm at work. Always like to give my all.  The problem is always feeling like over worked and under paid. I think it's time to take my degree and certification and look for a better opportunity.  Also I feel the insurance is just to high for me, and I really can't continue to keep paying almost half my paycheck just to keep coverage for my family.  This is one of the other reason why I feel I need to look else where.

A typical day at work was Fast paced, long shifts and steady Productivity. I learned alot about Produce and warehousing. Management was very great and was understandable.The workplace was always clean seeing that all we did was clean. So with that being said it was also very organized. The hardest part of the job was to keep up with the fast pace at the begininning but it got alot better. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people.

There’s no reward in your 100% effort in completing of the work assigned on or before time. Don’t get anything wrong because you will get called into the principals office. Any suggestions will usually get shot down for now.
Six months down the road they’re actually using that suggestion but now only because it’s their idea. Most of the people you work with are nice though.

The company is evolving and trying to keep up with the forever changing grocery industry. They've gotten away from the retail aspect and focusing on manufacturing now. I like the smaller company versus the larger such as Kroger. You get a chance to know your fellow co-worker. They even welcomed me back after leaving for another position for almost 2 years.

If you're willing to be at work every day, you're going to have a pretty stable and secure job. The work isn't difficult, it might just get a little chaotic at times. There aren't always enough people on specific teams, so you may end up doing work that isn't in your job description.

Ukrops was my first "REAL"Job. I worked hard and I believe I was paid well. Management and fellow employees were easy to work with.I performed more than one job there so, that kept me interested.I would happily work there again if I were to move back to Virginia.

I really like working there never had a problem coworkers are nice supervisors easy to get along with never had a problem doing my work I give you a 100 work and whatever needs to be done I did I have no problems helping others whatever it takes basically I have no complaints...
