Pros

-Store owners are flexible with schedules/callouts. -Thorough, appropriate training is provided. -Managers and owners are reaiy and available to answer questions or assist with unexpected problems. -Store is run efficiently. -Store owners try to make the workplace a positive one. -Lots of fun community outreach. -Customers are great!

Cons

-Negative work environment at times due to coworker drama and gossip. -Owners not addressing employee concerns in a timely manner so it appears that employees who are slacking off, causing arguments, etc are being unpunished. This causes resentment and accusations of favoritism among employees. -High turnover rate among cashier/sales floor associates -You have to demand a raise if your position is changed, and salary discussion is not allowed so they don't get more people asking for raises! -Store owners regularly have their child in the store, both in the back warehouse and main office, and she is quite often a distraction to employees.

Pros

Some benefits You must enter at least 5 words for Pros.

Cons

No discount The place I worked at doesn't really have a break room. Costumers steals a lot, and you will get fired if you didn't notice them stealing. The speaker plays the same list of songs over..... and over.. and over.. and over.. When the owner shows up, you have to treat them like royalty.

We appreciate you taking the time to submit a review, but really encourage you to speak directly to the current owners about your concerns. As you know, Grocery Outlet stores are independently owned & operated, so the owner/operator is the best place to go to discuss any issues & concerns you have.
