WinCo Foods Employer Reviews

What I liked the most about WinCo was their job structure and the responsibilities that were expected of each employee. My co-workers and myself worked as a team. The hardest part of the job was on the busier days things would become a bit more hectic and the volume of customers would increase so the idea of trying to keep focused while at the same – more... time not to be too nervous was a big challenge which I was able to overcome each time. The management team was wonderful too. They kept the schedules fair and the pay raises would be higher then most grocery stores. The health benefits were affordable and we had the best PPO health insurance along with dental, vision, and ear. The things that I learned the most from working at this company was teamwork and to help my other co-workers whenever I could. Keeping the store clean and the product out on the floor was one of the things I enjoyed doing along with customer service. I cannot say enough nice things about when I was an employee of WinCo. – less

It was a great job, easy to advance to management. Excellent benefits and compensation plan. Co-workers were friendly, management was understanding.

Was a good job but they almost want you to mess up just so they could fire indiviuals here the BB should investigate this company.schedule problems a constant problem wouldnt work around school plans a very selfish company which is sad becasue they should vaule there employees.whoops thats the thing they dont how cam winco do that when they could care – more... less about thier customers. Overall bad place to work for very sad winco – less

During my time at WinCo I enjoyed my job, I had the oppritunity to meet alot of people, I also enjoyed the people I worked with they were very helpful when needed.

Everyday was different at Winco foods, and people had different jobs. when i was "cook" i would:
Cook Variety of food for large quantities of customers
Maintained Kitchen cleaned, and did final closing cleaning of the department
or just
Help customers with order with sliced meats and or seafood. Responsible for preparing, slicing, wrapping, weighing, – more... pricing, and merchandising the department’s deli products. – less

Daily unloading trucks, cashiering, and resocking of shelves

I loved everything about working at Winco and the employees were like family tome. Work was very hard at time because of the all purpose title we all had but we all did our jobs.

A typical day at work is fast pace and keeps you on your toes. You learn to multi-task new duties everyday as well as the same routine. Management is very helpful and there to help you succeed everyday. The hardest part of the job is time management, while the best part is the interaction with customers.

Started out as a great place to work, but after being there for a few years, you start to see the true colors of the company. They claim fairness to all employees, but unless you kiss up to management or those in authority they treat you differently giving you less hours or hours no one else wants or likes. Seniority is not a factor but favoritism is. – more... Co workers can be your good friends but can easily be quick to throw you under the bus if they feel their job or security hangs in the balance. Hardest part is dealing with rude customers. The customer is not always right in this store. However when they are wrong, management over rules and does not back you up if needed. They want customers coming back even if it means going against policy. Their "point system" is also unfair. 2 points for being tardy 3 points for calling in sick even with a doctor's note and you want to use your sick pay for it. If you get more than 18 points in a year they have the power to not only suspend you but terminate you. I give this company a thumbs down for constantly changing policy and making rules up as they go along for certain employees and not for all. – less

Tough management but had to be tough because food had to be ordered correctly and refrigerated products needed to be rotated correctly at all times and trucks had to be unloaded on arrival no matter what was happening. Self's had to look good and customers had to be satisfied with service.

My typical day at work includes breaking down the freight loads that come in along with stocking the shelves and facing the store as well as answering any customers' questions. My department is consistly under staffed by my manager and the workload is high while the demands remain high making for a high pressure, high stress day. I work very hard and – more... take pride in my work but my hard work has not currently received appreciation from my in-store management team. – less

A typical day at work was fast-paced and interacting with customers. I learned how to cash checks and use a register. Management was very clear about their direction to other employers. I enjoyed working with customers and learning new tasks.

There was nothing enjoyable about this job. Did not learn anything and co workers were rude arrogant and not easy to get along with.

Typical day at work was; Work started at 10am, got the safety clothes on, took the machine out and start corralling the carts into the corrals. I learned that fast pace work means your always on your feet. I learned how to use the trash machines and the cart machines. Management was good, some flaws but they kept the customers happiness in mind. Co-workers – more... very friendly. Hardest part of the job, Fresno 100+ Heat. Most enjoyable part was the pay check and knowing I worked hard for it. – less

Nights are great if you do your job and don't have a bad crew with you. Hours are all over the place, schedule comes out Thursdays for sat-fri the following week so they don't allow you to plan anything. Their expectations are outrageous, and we get blamed when we don't meet them yet when we finish early we don't hear a thing. The coworkers and pay – more... are what is keeping me here because management is as corrupt as government. And the one assistant manager that was busting her butt to keep employees happy get's fired because the manager appears to be sexist, replaced her with another lazy guy within a week, and who coincidently plays the same xbox games he and our other male AM play. – less

Working for Winco sucked after 3 yrs I was still PT they use and abuse you... And the management had a lot of lazy favorites if they like you then your guaranteed a advancement.Dont work for this company

i absolutely hate this store. they had a fine set up in the beginning but nowww i have been in my department longer than everyone else and iiiii have the least amount of hours. i can barely pay my gas to get to work let alone try to get my own place... too many unbalanced hours and very unpredictable. all but one of the managers that i know of at my – more... store only care about themselves. during a normal work day i am left cleaning up after everyone else (incluing my own manager... usually my manager) in the bakery and if iiii dont finish myyy job iiii get points for it because half of my now 4 hour shift is doing their job. i do NOT reccommend this store for anyyyonnee unless you are as heartless and selfish as they are. – less

Great place to work . The people and management always worked together . the staff are supportive and exceptional

What started as a beautiful job, turned into a real nightmare, the job was really great in the begining, but after a time things went downhill fast. I worked many 10-12 day shifts, and every time the answer was always the same: Sorry about that, I'll fix it next week. If you are a student looking to make extra money then this is the job for you. this – more... is definitely a very fast paced environment. turnover is in my estimation very high. all the good people are let go and the bad ones are kept on. Management issues are a problem. – less

Winco gives you many chances to excel in your career. Great benefits, competitive wages, and amazing retirement and investment plans.
