Thrifty Foods Employer Reviews

It was my first job and I made mistakes however it was a good place to start while I was going to high school.

A typical day at Thrifty's consists of happy faces and a fast pace environment. There is always something to do, let it be helping a lost customer or cleaning your till or the SOP's.
I have learnt about where our food comes from and codes for all of the produce that comes in, including some of the bulk codes and most of the bakery codes.
My co-workers – more... are amazing most of the time, but what work place doesn't have drama? I stay clear of that.
The hardest part of my job is getting enough hours to support myself and also trying to get the recognition and appreciation of what I do for the store without being told or asked upon.
The most enjoyable part of my job, is those busy busy saturdays where you have happy customers who greet you with a smile and you have no time to look at the clock and by the time you know it, your shift is over and you get to go home.

Our Engagement team is AMAZING! – less

Very nice stores! So many new products organic and natural great focus on health foods!

Great your co workers. Check communication book. Start work.
Often hard to get customer service calls answered.
Judge some managers moods before asking questions.
Good about saftey and keeping everyone and everything clean and tidy.
Hardest part of the job is getting help when really busy and needed.
Co-workers are great and will help when possible – more... but not enough of us at times.
It is very difficult to qualify for benefits and could take years as you must work a certain amount of hours per year to qualify and it is very hard to get those hours. Even after qualifing you are only guaranteed to average 24 hours per week. The wages are minimal most start at minimum wage.
You are able to try working in different department if you are interested, and a position opens, this is great but does not usually result in any extra hours.
Alot of the shift are only 4 or 5 hours per day.
Most of the Staff and managers are really great and helpful people! – less
