Whole Foods Market Employer Reviews

each store in the company is granted a great deal of autonomy, so the culture tends to differ from store to store, depending on the store's leadership. however, financial goals are set by regional leadership, and the stores are held accountable to achieve them.

I really believe that their are some employees through out the company who truly believe in the company standards. Some of those standards are organic integrity, commitment to healthy living and practicing fare trade with third world countries. These employees are extremely dedicated and keep up with the latest news in healthy life styles. However, – more...  this is not consistent throughout the company. Many of the members of management on a store level are young people in their 20's who cannot wait to leave work to go socialize at a local bar. You cannot grow within the company if your team is headed by one of these people. There is too much favoritism and rules that should apply to all employees are only applicable to team members who are not a part of the clique. – less

Store team members are the type that one would enjoy working with side by side with each other. From the managment to the team members.

After 3.5 years of being a top producer as produce team leader I caught my Store Manager lying to me about two of my employees. I went to hr and was told to get over it. The employees went to the "anonymous" ethics tip line and within five minutes were summoned to the office of the manager they were complaining about. All of us have been fired. They – more...  also have implemented a program where other departments "dumpster dive" into the produce garbage and compost for product to sell in the prepared foods department. Stay away from the Park City salad bar! – less

Whole foods really knows how to treat their employees and places a great emphasis on seeing them thrive. Since the company emphasizes work performance over seniority it is a great place to move up and to gain management experience

Whole Foods is a wonderful company and really makes u feel at home. They take care of their employees and guest. As a company they go out of their way to make everyone's experience special. I'm just thankful to say that i am apart of that experience. The only negative thing a could say about Whole Foods is that there isn't much room for advancement. – more...  Because of the loyalty of the employees no one really ever leaves unless they relocate. – less

great company to work for, but doesn't feel like work at all :-)

Quality food products, fantastic like minded healthy, active employees, and great health benefits.

great workplace - super friendly, very family-like. I enjoyed my time with Whole Foods so much, I'd love to work for the company in any aspect again.

i had a problem with the department manager with her terrible attitude and the showing of contempt towards her black employees and the older people that were under employ.the manager was constantly having complaints against her and nothing has ever been done about her.she most assuredly set me up when she had me work 11 day straight and did not come – more...  in on the 11th day due to exhaustion. – less

Some stores are great environments, some not. If you are young and patient can have great opportunities
