Village Super Market

What is the best part of working at the company?
The employees at the location I worked were very family oriented. The management was iffy at times but it’s always like that. Village is great for teens as a first job. My only issue is they try to keep employees UNDER 36 hours no matter the circumstance so they don’t go into full time status. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Cashiering is not really stressful. Customer service can be at times. I feel like you don’t get paid enough working in customer service or “guest services”. They should offer at LEAST $18-$20 for that position because you handle multiple things at once. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At the location I was in, it was very much like one big family. Sometimes happy, sometimes not so happy, all the times though it was decent. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in, handle customer requests/complaints, help customers in any way possible.

Being there really does a number on you. Unless you have a hugely good relationship with everyone most of the time no one responds to you when you call them for something. Management will undermine you when a customer asks to speak to them for whatever reason. Being part time is usually about making up your own schedule and doing things on your time but when you are there for long enough they will try to take advantage of you and will complain about there “not being enough help around here” which makes it so you don’t have specific days off. So you work like a full timer but get paid part time and only have part time benefits.

First off worked there for over 3 months and never knew who the manager was. Overtime was scheduled and they acted like it was a crime to ask for more than one day off. Coworkers were lazy and did the bare minimum, but were talked about as if they were employees of the year. Was being told I was second in line for a full time position and department manager position, when the person who they offered the job to priced himself out of the position they chose to transfer another person from a different store who stepped down from the position after 3 months but kept the pay raise, they again transferred another person who quit after 2 weeks and then tried to get me to do the work without any pay increases or full time employment. When I refused they lied as an excuse to fire me and the union was worthless.

This company is growing faster then they can handle and has too many people in charge giving miss cues and different information on expectation, it becomes frustrating. Growth is a possibility in the company, but the work delegated for the pay compensation and benefits are subpar. The employees bicker like if you are in high school once again and everyone has frustration with upper management inability to communicate with their subordinates properly. The company does try to work on leadership training and advancement but some of the veterans in the company will sit on their high horse while the rest suffer to make it by. 

A typical day starts understaffed and hard to manage. you will learn a lot about angry customers due to being shortstaffed and underbudgeted, the management is overworked and knowledgeable, they often have to fill in due to budget issues, the hardest part is trying to complete your day fully and with a smile, trying to motivate associates that are not properly trained is not an easy thing to do, new employees are often trained in the evening by newer employees. The most enjoyable thing about this job is finally getting everything done on time because if you don't, you get another (not exactly nice) meeting, you need to seriously manage your time, it's the rewarding part.

ShopRite/Village Supermarkets does not seem like bad company to work for, but they do not pay enough per hour for the amount of work that needs to be done.  It's OK for a high school or a college kid who's being supported by their parents because they only let you work part time unless you're a department or store manager.  But as an adult you could not support yourself with the low salary and the amount of the hours that you are only allowed to work.

Low pay, very high worker expectations, difficult physical labor with no real benefits, 6 day work-weeks, very high stress environment. 

Night crew sets up the entire store, every minute is tracked. Yet we are not compensated additionally for the exponentially larger mass of work we have to do compared to day shift employees, on top of a schedule that doesn't allow one to have a decent life outside of work.  

It is not sustainable for someone who wants to lead a relatively normal life, and be able to support oneself.  Taking any time off for commitments is extremely difficult, also.

I have worked for shop rite for quite awhile now and they are definitely not about helping their employees everything is about what is best for the almighty dollar in their pocket creating new higher up positions with outstanding salaries while the little guys hours are being cut so bad it is hard to get by. Also don't believe about the possibility of full time because that hardly ever happens. Never hear positive from management only the negative. Work moral is horrible. Have to stay for the health insurance especially in this area

10 hour shifts for management, 6 day week, no training program. Management could use training on how to motivate employees. Some management not qualify for the job. too many responsibilities for little financial compensation. They says they care about their associates but really; they don't.

I worked here for 1 year and I can positively say that the store managers where amazing and kind and willing to help everything I wanted in managers. But the department manager was a drunk abussive dictator of his area. When I actually tried to help on busy days instead to finding somewhere to hid and sleep he would become a road block because he didn't know what he had to do yo help us and would consistently stop other workers to find out what something was.  This was amazing because he had been the manager for 5 years at this point and didn't know what was sold in his department.
