Whole Foods Market Employer Reviews

Great training and excellent quality. Good team environment.

I loved working for Whole Foods Market. The company is very catered to the satisfaction and attention to their employees and that's reflected towards the customers.

I learned a lot working at Whole Foods, such as how a hard day of work pays off and why customer service is so important. However, I do not like the work environment mostly because of the management. The managers do not listen to their employees and are only concerned as to how the regional team perceives their store.

To the most enjoyable part of – more... the job is helping customers figure out what the best meal option might be for them. I also enjoy cleaning at the end of the night because it gives me a task to focus on until the store closes.

The hardest part of the job is the hours. You either get a morning shift (starting at 6am) or a night shift (ending at 11 pm), therefore this job is very tough on one's sleep schedule. – less

Great Place To Work. Customers Are Diligent. Food Is Amazing.

Un-load arriving truck, stock warfehouse, stock fron-end, assist with customer service.

Begin the day by reading all information posted in the cashier office and sign off. Take a look over all produce products, noting any changes or new additions. Arrive at the front end prepared to open a register and provide exemplary customer service. Alert the Shift Lead that you have arrived and verify your expected duty or register assignment.

The – more... management was by far the best I have ever experienced. Open, friendly and extremely accomodating. Every individual is given and provides respect to team members and customers alike.

The hardest part of the job is collecting shopping baskets in summer heat and humidity.

Everything that is part of Whole Foods Market is extremely enjoyable and having been apart of something so successful and positive has changed my life forever. – less

Just making sure tasks, and projects are completed in a timely manner, receiving shipments in a timely order. Also being safe in a warehouse enviroment

It was always a good day at work in wholefoods.
Everyday we learned of a new product. What I liked mostly was that they really do care about the employees and liked the benefits.

Whole foods in my experience is an alright company whether you're looking to work for them short term or long term. If you're attending school it is a good place to get in work your shift get out and make a few bucks. For those who are seeking to work for whole foods long term there is much opportunity for advancement but its on the individual to put – more... him/herself out there as somebody who wants to pursue higher positions. The health insurance is good and profit sharing is a nice addition to your check. – less

I would label and stock new products. Help with food preparation and help customers find what they needed. I learned about different baked goods and food restrictions. The management and co-workers were great. I loved everything about this job.

Very employee friendly place to work. The work culture there at Whole foods made it a pleasure to come to work every day.

Whole Foods, after they hire you, tells you later that they allow the employees in your department to vote you in or out on a purely subjective basis. I never would have accepted the job had I known this because it strikes me as bizarre and cannot possibly be legal. I witnessed rule breaking and law breaking while I was there for the short time I was. – more... My peers made it clear they did not like me. It got to be very disconcerting so I decided to quit.
I'm a really nice guy. I believe I was doing a good job and cannot understand why I was sidelined so quickly. All their hype about being a "family" (like they are a mob) and "care" is BS. What they really feared was being sued for this ridiculous policy. – less

4-my coworkers where very friendly and accepting to the new people we had added to our team

6-the most enjoyable was seeing friendly people all the time and being able to help them and there needs as best as possible. – less

I enjoyed working for Whole Foods Market, a company that has an outstanding set of company core values. With these values, it really can guide your employment and decision making as you get promoted in the company.

I liked having a reliable quality product that people knew what they were getting every time.

The store I worked was one of the most pleasant environment that I have ever experience. All the employees were great individuals that took pride an joy being there. Department managers were always understanding and flexible with their crew. Overall a wonderful place to work.

every day is an experience all its own. never boring always interesting

Working at WholeFoods Market makes you feel like you have a second family. I learned that eating Organic food is good for a long healthy life. The Managment is amazing because they make sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to working expectations, My co-workers were easy to get along with and just overall enjoyable, The hardest part of the – more... job was picking up cases of wine and building displays. The most enjoyable thing about WholeFoods Market is going home everyday and knowing you enjoyed your shift, and that you cant wait for the next day – less

Whole Foods Market in Santa Cruz is staffed by selfish people. The company claimes to emphasize team work, however there is little or no team work happening at the store.

Whole foods taught me alot of responsibility. I was fortunate to work there for a year and learn how to engage a customer. A work day would mostly consist of constant contact with your customers and co-workers.Management kept us up to date on everything and we were well prepared to execute our job to the best of our ability. the pro was being around – more... enjoyable people , customers and co workers . the only con was i didn't take full advantage of my experience. – less

My co-workers are friendly and come from diverse backgrounds, the management is helpful and the environment is fast-paced. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to work with people that are friends.
