Bottom Dollar is cool
Front End Cashier (Former Employee), Penndel, PA – June 5, 2013
Pros: good job for extra money, good management and good brand
Cons: doesnt pay enough money to live off of
Bottom Dollar is a good place to work if you need extra money. Its not a job you can live off of. I loved the people I worked with and the management team. The company definately offered to customers good products at affordable prices. You will not want to shop anywhere else once you shop there. Very easy job.

Enjoyed my time here
Cashier (Former Employee), Laurel, MD – May 29, 2013
Pros: uniform, fast paced
Cons: n/a
Management let me go and welcomed me back over a misunderstanding. I had a co-worker lie on me to management, while he stole the money, he was fired. Every summer they got me back in the system and started me when I got home from College.

Great idea but headed in the wrong direction
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Clementon, NJ – March 26, 2013
Pros: it's a job
Cons: non-union, terrible managment, no security, no individualism, favoritism, unprofessional
I like the idea of Bottom Dollar Food, however, it is headed in the wrong direction by the people in charge. They are in need of a union. One reason being that if you are part-time you may find yourself with only 4 hours a week or none at all. If you have a complaint or concern there is no one to go to at all. Management cannot be trusted because they – more... lot of them are about as unprofessional as they come. They gossip to each other and other associates. This company is very micromanaged as well. There are too many chiefs and not enough Indians. There's too much direction coming from the district level and above telling you one thing then a day later the information is changed. They follow religiously this "standard practice" which basically allows everyone to act like a robot and there is no room for any of your own thinking on how to do something. They want every store to be an exact carbon copy of the last which sounds great, however in reality every store caters to a different area so not every store can be the same. The majority of the issues that go on in the store cannot be fixed at store level everything must be fixed through emailing several people and waiting days to weeks to have corrected. Lastly, all of the associates working there hate their jobs and aren't afraid to let you know. All the members of management hate their jobs too and openly discuss it with the other managers and associates whom they manage. Bottom Dollar Food is a fairly new company and has the potential to be so much better than it is now but it is headed in the total opposite direction with no signs of improvement in fact it gets worse day by day. I would not recommend working for this company. – less

Desperately needs a union
Sales (Current Employee), Marlton NJ – March 24, 2013
Pros: unable to think of anything positive about working here
Cons: lazy managers, rude customers
Bottom Dollar Food is horribly mismanaged. Very micromanaged but with the left hand not knowing what the right is doing. Constant flow of corporate types who tell you to do the complete opposite of what you were told to do 5 min earlier. Training is non existent but you're written up if you don't just automatically know what to do. You pay a lot for – more... terrible benefits. Verbal abuse and humiliation are favorite tools of store manager. Highly unprofessional atmosphere, tons of gossip. HR is completely useless. – less

Make you feel respected and appreciated
Store Manager Trainee (Former Employee), North Wales, PA – March 20, 2013
Pros: culture, respect
Cons: unfortunate job loss due to parent company cutbacks....
Upper management treats everyone more as an equal rather than as a "lesser" employee. The culture created is far more relaxed and respectful than many other companies.

If your ready to give up your family life then join BDF
Manager (Current Employee), Pittsburgh – March 12, 2013
Cons: schedule changes weekly after posted. never can set anything because policies always changing
Company tells you one thing then does another. Kiss your holidays goodbye except Christmas. They tell you when you can take personal days and vacations. The DM has complete control of the company policies plus his own. You would think his name was on the building. To many bosses all wanting to do things there way. Top heavy in corporate. This company – more... needs a union or they need to become employee friendly. – less

Great place to learn
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Marlton, NJ – February 22, 2013
Pros: learning more
Cons: hours and managment
I work for Bottom Dollar for 2 1/2 years and I work evenings and weekends. My typical day was being on the register and ringing up customer and answer any questions they may have, answer the phone and talking to customer and direction them to the right person they need to talk to. Management was ok and so are my co workers. The hardest part is dealing – more... with rude customer and trying to please them. – less

New company with a lot of improvement needed
Dairy Associate (Current Employee), Clementon, NJ – January 6, 2013
Pros: seeing and keeping in contact with the regular customers
Cons: poor management and poor following of basic food safety rules
This company is very new and I feel that they could use a lot of improvement. Most of the improvement I feel could come by the way of training. Managers are not trained properly and associates aren't either. I find on a daily basis people doing things that are both safety and health hazards and when I speak up to correct someone I am dismissed. I am – more... a big follower of the food safety rules because after all it is peoples health and well being we are saving by being safety conscious. I enjoy my job as far as working with the customers and I do get a huge satisfaction when my section is fully cleaned and stocked at the end of my shift. – less

Very cookie cutter company. With big growth plans.
Store Manager (Current Employee), Pgh, PA – January 2, 2013
Pros: great benefits
Cons: to top heavy with management at this time. direction get mixed and changes.
Bottom Dollar Food is a new brand name grocery store of Delhaze America. Currently the company is very top heavy with upper management that are trying to make a name for themselves with the company. So a lot of people trying to give direction.You know the saying to many cooks in the kitchen. Most of the stores are 18k to 25k squ foot. Easy to run. The – more... company has plan for fast growth so there's lost of opportunity for advancement. – less

Bottom Dollar was a positive work place with good pay and benefits.
Customer Service Manager (Former Employee), Virginia Beach, VA – December 26, 2012
Pros: pay, benefits, bonuses, learning environment.

I enjoyed working at Bottom Dollar. I learned a lot about Customer Service, hiring and overall grocery operation. They provided a good salary, benefits and bonuses. I learned about the special services we provided, such as Western Union, Lottery, Coinstar and Government programs such as WIC and SNAP.

A Day At Work
Customer Service Mgr (Former Employee), High Point, NC – December 15, 2012
A typical day for me begins in the office as I perform the morning close, which polls all the totals from the previous sales day. During this process I also prepare the bank deposits that are picked up by our currency courier. I am in constant contact with customers as a also work on the register as well. During the course of the day I perform refunds, – more... and voids for customers and other cashiers on my shift. If a customer calls or comes to the store with a complaint, I try to resolve it before manager assistance. I enjoy my job, but I am seeking employment where I can grow and utilize my full potential. – less

Customers love the savings, Work Crew are very helpful
Cashier/Stocking (Former Employee), Youngstown, OH – November 8, 2012
Pros: the bottom dollar cards/key-chains(for advertised items), 10 minute breaks, 30 min lunch, lockers, name brand items
Cons: just only very certain items that are not available at bdf, but could be found at other stores (managers are aware, they've talked to hq about it; they're working on carrying everything you need.
(Nov. 2012) The crew I worked with was very helpful at teaching the cash register. The neighborhood customers love the associates, the clean environment, the savings with Bottom Dollar coupons and Cards/Key-chains.

The Bottom Dollar chains have activities relevant to the holidays, which is very good for my neighborhood (which does have much fun things – more... to do but shop).

Some customers come in to shop BDF, and realize they've saved a lot more than other grocery stores (i.e. Walmart). – less

fun workplace
Cashier/Stocker (Former Employee), Downingtown, PA – August 16, 2012
Pros: amazing people
Cons: very disorganized
a typical day at work is helping out all the customers, i learned different products and my manager was amazing. I really didnt talk to my co workers because i was always so busy. The hardest part of the job would be having no product and all the customers getting angry. I loved be able to help everyone i could.
