Ocean State Job Lot reviews

Bad wage, I was working in sections and register at the same time, supervisor calling me to the register every 10 minutes, bad points system, no benefits except 15% store discount. Low prices attract very pure uneducated people, like pensioners, unemployed people, SNAP card holders. If you can't speak Redneck or Yankee English - sometimes I can't understand them. Deliveries are without system, lot's of stuff that store doesn't need or have a lot. Employees don't have medical insurance first year, just before starting 1st year you wouldn't need insurance, you will have 40 points and will go home. Company economies money and don't pay overnight, overnight team starting 5:00 a.m. Just two 10 minutes breaks and one 30 minutes break if you're working full time.

pay rate is low, employee recognition isn't as good as it could be. It's a huge place (the warehouse) and should have employee recognition by department, I think. We have temps and some have been with us for many years (on and off) and are excellent workers and should have been hired long ago. I don't know how they chose people they hire, but the ones who get hired are usually useless. But they MIGHT have been good temps...see "advice to management" this could explain the lethargy in workers.
