Whole Foods Market reviews

Whole Foods has developed around a framework it calls the Declaration of Interdependence which seeks to account for all of the stakeholders upon which the company is dependent for success. Customers, shareholders, team members, the community, and producers are taken into account in all aspects of decision making to insure an well-rounded base of support from which everybody can succeed with each other. On a more obvious level, WFM has the most competitive benefits/compensation package in the industry, including an amazing 20% discount off retail of everything in the company, good at any Whole Foods or Wild Oats location. Besides being the basis for the widespread popularization of organics and natural foods in America, Whole Foods is now significantly turning its focus to sustainability and natural capital initiatives which seek to create one of the most eco-efficient and healthful companies in the country. Team that up with amazing opportunities for career advancement and participation in social programs such as Whole Planet, in affiliation with Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhummad Yunus, and it almost seems as though WFM is in the world-changing business more than the food retail business. For the progressively-minded employee, Whole Foods doesn't even have any interest in testing for drugs, and requires only that you not be obviously under the influence while on the clock.

All of the opportunity for advancement, raises, benefits, etc, are in the hands of the employees. I have never found a place that was so willing to please its employees. They want us to be happy so that we do our jobs well and help turn a profit, and it works tremendously well. I am a very happy employee, perhaps for the first time in a job ever, and I tell all of my friends to get jobs at Whole Foods. I wouldn't do that if I didn't stand behind everything that the company stands for and know that the company stands behind me too.
