fun, educational
Cashier (Former Employee), Perris, CA –
Pros: great benefits and occasional 200 gift cards
Cons: short breaks, really strict
My review on winco foods I would have to say it's a great place to work. Working there I learned how to use the cash register, stock shelves, face, and make the inventory look nice. Management at Winco was great real nice, and helpful. I would have to say the hardest part of my day there was when it was close to getting off the clock because I was tired – more...  the morning crowd would start flowing in and it was just hectic and vise versa the best part of my day was when i first got there because I was constantly busy it made the night fly by – less

My job at WinCo was a great job and I'll miss it. I was able to get into a position that I mostly worked alone except when I was helping customers, checking, or training employees.

Always keep busy
Food Service Associate (Former Employee), Orangevale, CA –
I enjoyed coming into work in the morning and preparing all the salads and pizza bar. My team mates were enjoyable to be around also. I liked the fast pace that we had to go because we got everything done on time. The manager was great. She really worked with all of us and taught us the right way and everything we needed to know.

Points System
Deli Clerk (Current Employee), Beaverton, OR –
Pros: advancement
Cons: point system
They have a point system if you get 9 in a month you get written up. You can go to the doctors and get a note and still receive points against you. Managers are not really qualified for the position they have

Great staff
Deli Clerk 1 (Former Employee), Victorville, CA –
Pros: increase in sales and team work
Cons: employee parking was far.
Winco Foods is a grocery store with low prices and great costumer service. Working in the deli was a fast paste and safe food handling environment. Management and employees were a great team, together we increased our sales. Sometimes working with a short staff can be hard and yet I'm grateful with the extra hours.

Lots of Ups and Downs
Deli Associate (Current Employee), Lakewood, CA –
Pros: co workers, healthcare
Cons: management, clientele, wage
You work with some quality people, but you deal with plenty of mismanagement. You have a mix of quality customers and very horrible moody people demanding chicken. Overall it's an average job with more bad then good, but the best medical plan offered ANYWHERE in the industry.

Productive work area
Customer Service (Former Employee), Visalia, CA –
Pros: free lunch
Cons: short breaks, very few coworkers.
I enjoyed working for this company, but I didn't like how on our shift there would be only two people working it was very fustrating and hard to work alone while my co worker was on lunch, or break. But overall it was a great experience.

Pays well but with some cost..
Exercised grocery stocking on graveyard shift (Current Employee), Spokane, WA –
Pros: the pay, benefits
Cons: management style, treatment of employees, hr
The company started as a family feel to it. It now seems alot more coorporate. It is treating its employees like they don't appreciate them. They are starting to take away little by little.

Rene – April 27, 2012

If you took the Winco name out of this , you would sound like Walmart and all other stores that have gone corporate. Sorry but DRONE comes to mind . I don't want to work for ANOTHER company like that!
