Under compensated and Overworked
Stock Crew Worker (Current Employee), The Villages, FL – May 4, 2013
Sweetbay is not a company you want to work for if you are looking for a place where advancement is important to you. They will tell you there are plenty of opportunities for advancement but that is a lie. They only tell you that to keep you working there.

Great Co workers and Management, traumatic Closing
Meat Cutter/Seafood Lead (Former Employee), Naples, FL – April 23, 2013
Pros: awesome co-workers
Cons: poorly handled closure
I enjoyed my time with the company in total. i met great people that I am glad to call friend, when the location closed I felt it was poorly handled and very hurtful to a lot of loyal employees. Outside of that my hours were perfect and flexible, the mood was usually cheerful, and the management ended off on a high note.

Excellent store to work for with friendly coworkers and great work policies.
Customer Service Associate (Former Employee), Tampa, FL – April 13, 2013
Pros: friendly coworkers, great store policies that benefit both customers and employees, welcome to people with little to no prior work experience
Cons: unpredictable work hours, physically demanding
My daily duties as a Customer Service Associate were to bag groceries, retrieve shopping carts, do light janitorial work (mopping, sweeping, dusting, etc.) and do everything in my power to satisfy customer needs. All of my coworkers, including those at the manager levels, were friendly and dedicated to their job. The most difficult part of the job was – more... how physically demanding it can be, especially on busy days. What I enjoyed most about the job was working with my wonderful coworkers and getting a sense of satisfaction from helping out customers.

Overall, I would highly recommend working for Sweetbay to all prospective employees and customers. – less

Fun while it lasted.
Bakery Sales Manager (Current Employee), Dunedin, FL – January 31, 2013
I loved my time with Sweetbay Supermarket. I'm very sorry to see it end. Sweetbay is closing 33 stores in January 2013 so this is not very comforting to the future of the company. I learned a lot while working there and met some really wonderful people during my career. Sorry to see my career ending on this note. Looking forward to a new oppertunity.

Pros: co-workers, excellent management
Cons: little to no pay raise
A typical day at work at Sweetbay was to come to work dressed to the part follow the rules and enjoy the customers. The hardest part of the job is the rude customers. The most enjoyable part are the co workers.

Customer Service Manager (Former Employee), Bradenton, FL – January 21, 2013
Pros: vacation time i earned
Cons: long hours
A typical day at work was busy but fun. I enjoyed working with all the people and enjoyed talking to the customers. I learned alot retail operations and alot about myself. I was part of the management team and my coworkers are great people to work with. The hardest part of my job was letting people go. My favorite part of my job was the interaction – more... with people and all the friends I made. – less

Nice place to start a first job and communicate with people. Fun environment to work in.
Deli Associate (Former Employee), Lehigh Acres, FL – January 20, 2013
Pros: easy job.
Cons: not enough hours.
A typical day at work concist of slicing certain pounds of meat or ounces, making sandwhiches and frying food for customers. Also when it's almost time for closing we would have to clean all surface tables, deep clean each slicer and floors, clean knifes, and dishes, put food away back in to the cooler for the next day, and call the store manager to – more... inspect our area to see if we can go home or not depending if it was really clean and neat. – less

Great Place To Work, Location Dependent
Office Assistant (Current Employee), Zephyrhills, FL – December 1, 2012
Pros: good environment, healthy culture, active promotion of that culture
Cons: varied problems with individual stores, lack of direction as a whole company
I love Sweetbay. I've grown here and I've learned a lot here. Now, that varies from store to store. My store has a great management team that wants to see their employees succeed. Other stores and other places have issues that their management permits. I cannot speak to the corporate values as I rarely see anyone from corporate in the store that cares – more... too much about the day-to-day operation of the store. Good place to work, just needs some work. – less
