Whole Foods Market Employer Reviews

I had awesome co-workers, managment and learned alot about being organized. I love dealing with customers.

The company has strong and notable company values. I joined the company primarily because of their environmental values.
Everyday, team members work hard to set up the store before it opens and provide excellent customer service to all.
Management keeps employees educated about products and specifically on natural and organic products, on food handling – more... and sanitation. They also have an open door policy.
The work is hard and tedious as inall retail job that it is also not surprising that some team memebrs get sick with muscle psrains, or get hurt on the job.
The company also provides advancement options and have in place programs to help them advance within the company.
The most enjoyable part of the job is learning new things about the company and the food industryor about wellness programs. The company has computers available for team memebrs to learn on the Whole Foods Unversity. – less

A typical day at Whole Foods Market might involve stocking groceries depending on the load of the truck from that morning.
Assisting customers in finding the correct products or a substitute product. Zoning shelves so everything looks full and stocked. The non enjoyable part about the shifts are at closing if you are working with slow team members and – more... it takes you longer to finish your task then what your scheduled for.. – less

work conditions are ok. company no longer exist around this area. Outsourced.

-hard work,depending on your sales always a steady pace
-there is so much to learn ie: different farms= different feed,breed of live stock, grass fed vs grain fed, local vs regional, bison vs beef, flavor vs nutritional value, ect..
-MOST management is fair and knowledgeable
-99% of teammates are great
-the hardest part is answering questions that come – more... out of thin air
-the best part is for the most part you are empowered to be yourself and perform at your peak – less

I was very impressed with the professionalism of the company from day one. would work for again in a heart beat. I got to work with some really quality people during my time there. I was separated due to the company attendance policy. It's pretty strict, but for good reason when many people tend to take advantage of leniency. I am eligible for rehire – more... in six months and looking forward to it.
If you are a serious team player, then whole foods is for you.
I took the employee bio metric screening and based on my healthy BMI, cholesterol, blood work results, and the fact that i dont smoke, I qualified for a 30% employee discount card! sweet! – less

great place to work, good environment, would love to go back

This fast-growing company is a great organization to learn about the industry.

This has to be ultimately the best company to work for in retail. Been there for over 9 years. Started their as a bagger and worked my way up to Team Leader position. Work hard and you will get rewarded at Whole Foods.

Fast pace but the whole Food culture/ values make it enjoyable

WFM is a great place to work that cares about their team members, the community, environment, shareholders and vendors.

cashier, all basic cashier duty.
I learn about the organic foods.
the management was good.
coworkers were good.
standing in one place.
helping the customer.

Poor management, whole foods must be your life if you work there. Employees are expected to do more and more work in less time with less help because all they care about is profits. The money is good, but say goodbye to any life you have outside of whole foods market. Don't expect to do anything you enjoy/are good at, they'll place you wherever they – more... want you (this is generally whichever department has the highest turnover). Also don't expect any training, whole foods works on a learn on your own as you go basis. Enjoy. – less

Working at Whole Foods is like no other job I have ever worked. The staff is so welcoming, it is a relaxed atmosphere and they enjoy bringing out the best in people. Some of the rules and policies are an inconvenience and are not consistently followed through but that becomes something to become used to. They promote healthy living to team members.

I have a smile on my face all the time at work, because it's generally a happy place to be. I have learned about healthy eating and healthy cooking, and in my job specifically I have learned more about managing a large team and ordering for a large business. Management is great-- IF you are on their good side. If you're not so lucky, work will be miserable.

In the 9 years theat i worked at the whole foods market it was very interesting. i liked the fact that they care bout what they sell. they teach the workers bout the product.

Whole foods is a very fun and educational work environment for the food knowledge. I enjoyed everything I learned from my experiences in the past few years as in the company. Like many of my jobs in the food industry I have learned different management styles when working from kitchens to retail. The most challenging and enjoyable part of this job has – more... been dealing with many different customers and staff while finding ways to accommodate their needs on a daily bases. – less

the most enjoyable part of the job working as a team member,managment is good,co-workers are nice

very fun job the employees are easy to get along with an the hours are there for who need them

No confidentiality, mediocre with schedule requests.
Micro management is a typical day.
