Dierbergs Markets reviews

The people they employ for upper level management are generally not too professional. I worked there for ten years and saw the decline in people who took over those positions. Yes, there are many hard working, encouraging, ethical managers in their stores but there's also plenty that are not. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of having worked with many of them who were not "team leaders" whatsoever and who'd push work off onto lower level employees. Also, if you are wanting a full time 40hr a week job-don't even bother. They promote from within and unless you're "liked", you will not advance. I was fortunate enough to move into lower level management and secure a 40hr position but most will never have the opportunity. If hired from off the street, you will only be hired for part time work with minimal hours. Benefits are not available until...I think the 3yr mark. It could be 2yrs (I'm fuzzy on that being I received my benefits very early on due to the currant contract at the time). Also, with any union job you have to expect that while you may work hard, "Joe" over there could be milking the system and getting paid the same as you are. Even if you are working and going the "extra step", raises are rarely handed out except for your yearly union raise of a quarter...

It's a job, not a career. It takes a long time to make your way up through the union seniority to get to a point where you get full-time and benefits. So, school kids, moms, reitirees, or someone just looking for part-time work the basic entry level jobs are nice. Not ally the managers are great. One of my favs actually left the company just before I did (my lea e was unrelated, I had graduated from school and had found another job). But that's any job, some managers are nice; others not so much.
