Worst management ever experienced.
Cashier (Former Employee) - Governor's Ranch - 11 December 2022
Don't work here if you care about your mental health. They treat their employees with no respect and make it virtually impossible to take time off. I had to talk to 6 different managers after submitting a coverage request 2 weeks in advance. They usually schedule only one cashier up front aside from self check out so you have a nonstop line for 8 hours by yourself. I was sick for two days and got written up. I was also accused of a no call no show when I had been there all day. You get an employee ID number and that's all you are to them. They are consistently disrespectful and don't care about your well being. Breaks are always late. Managers stand around and don't help with anything, they just watch you struggle and then critique what you're doing. If you care about your mental health at all - DON'T WORK FOR THIS COMPANY. Horrible experience overall.
Pros
zero pros
Cons
Everything is a con here.

Just a job
Market Team Perishable Buyer/Specialist (Dairy Manager/Supervisor) (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 1 December 2022
Just a regular grocery job. Struggling store, no sales, no raises, high turn over, management was mediocre. Very little room for advancement, very little support from people above store level.

It's what you make it.
Buyer (Current Employee) - Elmhurst - 22 November 2022
Wholefoods is a company that is as good as you make it there are plenty of stores where everything is great (customers, employees, and management) then there are some places that are a complete nightmare.

A very competitive unhappy atmosphere
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) - Victoria, BC - 6 November 2022
I was hired at Whole Foods and excited about it. Boy what an error in judgement .After they got their act togethr ( it took almost 2 weeks for me to get an employee number so I could actually be on till , the job for which I was hired . Not one shift passed without some cashier sticking their nose where it doesn't belong . A bunch of wannabees who never will be . Good bye Whole Foods and good riddance !!

Whole Foods Manager
Meat/Seafood Department Manager (Former Employee) - Vancouver BC - 5 November 2022
Bad place to work. As management you have a large amount of expectations and little time to do them all. If you're working off the clock to finish said work or get ahead, you could be fired. It feels like a cult and they are all trying to indoctrinate you, so don't drink the cool aid! The staff members are great but the company treats you like garbage
Pros
Good people to work with
Cons
Everything else

Not a fun work environment.
Cashier (Former Employee) - Oakville, ON - 31 October 2022
Management was rude and disrespectful. There is very little appreciation for staff. The pay and benefits are good but definitely could be better. From what I have heard, ever since Amazon bought the company, it has gone down hill.

Started out great....
Dairy Buyer (Former Employee) - British Columbia - 27 October 2022
Started in 2014 and finished my time in 2016. When I first started TM appreciation week was awesome...all kinds of free products, lunch every day, double TM discount for a day(40% off everything). By the time I quit, non of this existed anymore. Can only imagine what Amazon Whole Foods is like now. They will work you until your fingers bleed and your back breaks, and your reward will be taking on more and more responsibilities without any further compensation.

Jobs at Whole Foods Market
It can be stressfull
Store Baker (Current Employee) - West Vancouver, BC - 22 October 2022
Always short of staff, it made difficult to do task. Sometimes you have to work on your own till late night and have your own production yourself. A few selfish team members, which made you do their chores. If you're working at production or as a team leader, you'll get a good salary. Lots of team members come and go due to low salary.

Nice coworker but micromanage is getting serious
Kitchen Staff (Former Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 13 October 2022
Had enjoyed working at the store until micromanagement was getting worse. I realized after leader ship member changed, it affects workplace culture significantly.

Good for young people
Cashier/Customer Service (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 3 October 2022
Repetitive tasks. Sometimes it gets really slow and boring. Standing for 6-7 hours. Too many PLU codes to remember for one person. Busy hours time passes fast and it can become enjoyable.
Pros
Employee Discount Card
Cons
Boring

You get what you put into it
Produce Team Member (Former Employee) - Oakville, ON - 29 September 2022
If you dedicate your life to the company you will get promotions eventually but at the end of the day big companies don't care about you and will delete you when its convenient to get a new lower payed person. if you work here do it for yourself either as part time for paying for school or to get experience to move into another industry. if you are willing to work 10 or 12 hours shifts or come in on your day off you will get promoted and get luxuries that others don't get Coworkers are fine but its all shallow they don't care about you just acting nice to save face there wasn't really any drama or talking about people behind there back but after you leave its likely you wont be speaking to anyone here again get used to saying hi how are you 70 times a day to hear the same thing back but no one actually cares but I'm just reiterating at this point. its a very easy job though some people say its hard but they are just lazy there is just enough to do for the 8 hours of your day.

Okay first job
Production Baker (Former Employee) - Kitsilano, BC - 7 September 2022
Not bad to start. Low wage. Good benefits. Management was disconnected from realities. They expect far more than what you get paid for. Hard physically and not enough breaks/ adequate time to rest or even use the bathroom.

Stressful and alot of turn over
manager (Current Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 6 September 2022
More training would have been appreciated, and the work load is not equivalent to the wage. Most grocery stores pay their staff more, and the expectations are too high

Too much work
Deli Clerk (Current Employee) - Kitsilano, BC - 18 August 2022
Closing shifts are the worse. You have to clean everything and sometimes by yourself, you don't have too much help! Most people leave because they stay until 10 pm or more cleaning the area alone.

Not worth it
Customer Service Team Member (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 13 August 2022
The location I worked at was good in the beginning but once the pandemic started it went down hill. My mental health is more important. The management team were not supportive, they only cared about the money.
