Woods Supermarkets Inc.

Working at Bolivar Woods was a truly disheartening experience. The mismanagement was rampant, with incompetent department and assistant managers who seemed more interested in avoiding work than leading their teams. The pay was a paltry minimum wage, and the promise of raises was a cruel joke. There was absolutely no opportunity for advancement, no matter how hard you worked or how long you stayed.

One of the most frustrating aspects was the company's blatant disregard for employee well-being. Great workers were consistently punished with reduced hours to keep them below 30 hours, ensuring the company wouldn't have to offer benefits. This was a slap in the face to those who were dedicated to their jobs and deserved to be rewarded.

The scheduling was a complete disaster. Shifts were rarely posted on time, leaving employees in a constant state of uncertainty. And if you had the misfortune to miss a shift due to unforeseen circumstances, you could expect to be yelled at, regardless of the reason.

To make matters worse, lazy workers who refused to do their jobs or were constantly calling out sick were somehow still employed. The company seemed more concerned with avoiding unemployment benefits than maintaining a productive work environment.

If you're looking for a job that is both unfulfilling and demoralizing, I highly recommend working at Bolivar Woods. But if you value your time, your mental health, and your financial stability, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere.

Most of the advancement in the company happens after multiple decades. Try to stand out: Get put in as many scheduled hours as possible. Try to do part time: Get berated by the store manager and either get hours slashed to almost none or get fired. Try to make a livable wage: Get paid by position so if you get hired for something like the deli but try to work more hours in more positions and get paid by the salary you originally signed on for be mistaken. The only good part about the job or your fellow employees and your position managers which actually do show support for you. 

A typical day of work there would usually include a lot of customer service, making sure surfaces were cleaned properly. Hotcase was clean and full and that it was closed properly and on time. What  I learned was a fair bit about good time management, and how to clean various items I had never worked with before. The management for other areas outside the deli seemed a bit... Rough. The culture of the workplace mostly revolved around getting the job done and done well. The hardest part Personally was the customer service part. the most enjoyable part for me was the cooking and cleaning.

Woods is a great place to work if you are interested in only working and not advancing. The pay is fairly decent; however, management does not appreciate a single thing that you do. Even if you take on more than what you are scheduled for you do not get a praise. Additionally, hours are cut severely in the winters. The customers are the highlight of working at Woods.

My typical day as a produce associate I organize fresh produce by section and rotate product, I learned to be a better supermarket worker, stock effienctly , clean prep areas , reduce shrink, inventory product, fulfill customer requests.Hardest thing about the job is lifting and being on your feet long periods of time, enjoyable thing learning new ways to be proactive.

A horrible place to work management is childish snippy, and talks down to you like you’re a child they constantly cut your hours. They don’t care about you paying your bills. They’ll cut you down to 15 hours a week and make empty promises about hours if you’re hired part time, they don’t give a hoot about you or your well-being working in the bakery was a complete misery the most dirtiest bakery I’ve ever seen in my life

They may say that they hire full time but it's only part time you're more than likely to only get 25 hours a week. The store in buffalo is the worse one when it comes to that. Department managers are really great but upper management sucks. They don't care about you they only care about money and if you get in the way of that then they'll get rid of you.

Never know what your gonna walk into..owner and corporate  don't care about you..you get lied to and your hours are cut and treated like you are just a number

Great co workers and a fun place to work, Main store manager changes very frequently and most of the time there not the best but the assistant mangers are pretty good and keep the place running other than main store manager it’s a pretty good place to work.

Working at Woods I was underpaid for the work I put in and the tasks I was expected to perform. I was hired for one job yet trained and expected to do another for the same pay but way more responsibilities. The management is overall unpleasant to work with.
