Georgia Main Food Group Inc. Culture reviews

Not a bad place to work when the store first opened. The environment/culture was very positive and uplifting differentiating from other big chain grocery stores. Unfortunately over time, Just like any business. Corporate decided it was time to start cutting hours and raise gross profit demands to maximize overall gross. This inevitably causes a more negative/toxic work culture. It really feels like everyone has to fight for them self. There's no "team" here. You may be told otherwise. The next week you'll be sat down in the managers office because "x amount of people have spoke to management about you" they won't tell you who of course. 95% of it is rumours, but it doesn't matter. You really have to just put in your work, punch out and go home, don't talk to anyone here because eventually someone will try to throw you under the bus. Please avoid grocery stores overall. I really reccomend avoiding this one as well.

A fun and supportive workplace!

Talent Acquisition Coordinator (Former Employee) - Whistler, BC - 13 February 2023

GMFG was one of the best companies I ever worked for! From day one they were supportive. The team always reached out to see if I needed help or guidance in any task. The HR team that I worked with was positive, cohesive, fun and caring. They provided so many perks such as sporting event tickets, unlimited office supplies, opportunity for advancement and more!

Pros

Opportunity for advancement, on the job and off the job perks

Worst communication, horrible "team-oriented" environment

Cashier (Former Employee) - Fleetwood, BC - 22 January 2023

Training was rushed and constantly interrupted as if they don't value other people's time. The "team" doesn't care about new hires or their contribution. Zero recognition or feedback when new. Unprofessional behaviour from staff and if you respond being displeased they will start a smear campaign and justify gossiping by saying "everybody here talks". So if you make a mistake they won't ever talk to you, they will talk about you! They will punish you by taking resources away such as removing office supplies, stare to intimidate, and negative indirect communication in hopes you realize it's about you. Grown adults who don't have the professionalism to tell you "hey I know you're new but we don't do that here" It's very clear that so many people that work here have a mindset of "we had to deal with it so you have to, too!" There's a sign in the back that says "Work is a Stage" if you're wondering about their "professional" mission statement. They don't value you, or each other. Pretty sure only simple minds find this behaviour amusing and think it's "ethical". There's no such thing as being a team here like their website advertises, it's simply sink or swim! It's clique-y, so most of them will actively exclude you and not talk to you.

Pros

Possibly the hours

Cons

Toxic work culture

I don't recommend this place to work with.

Working in Office (Current Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 21 November 2022

Not a good experience working there, A lot of discrimination from Management in daily working, there's no work, life balance and management expects you to work even on the weekends and be prepared to work on your day off.

Pros

Can't recall any pros

Cons

Extremely toxic culture
