need more respect for employees
Stock/Cashier (Current Employee) – Orlando, FL – June 18, 2019
well I arrive and they will put me to work but get upset at me for another employee being late absent or not arriving to work they would rush me to get everything done when there just one person doing a crew job
Poor training poor management
Store manager (Former Employee) – Sandusky, OH – June 17, 2019
Could've been a good job just bad timing n very bad management received 6 days of training to run an entire store which would've been fine except when I reached out for things I didn't understand I was met with take care of it or do some hiring or complete silence
Pros
Decent pay
Cons
No support
Good for young adults
Store Clerk (Former Employee) – Bridgeton, NJ – June 14, 2019
This is a good job for young adults fresh out of high school. It is pretty easy to learn and maintain your responsibilities in the store. Not many hours given and no overtime. Definite room for advancement. Great store management.
Pros
Store managers are great, family environment
Cons
Low pay, little hours
It is okay
Cashier and Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Newaygo, MI – June 14, 2019
Managment sucked
Assistant managers were stealing money, getting high on breaks, fighting with other associates, major attitude problems. Basically ran by ignorant jerks. Not worth it. Ran by women who sleep with bosses to keep out of trouble and get what they want.

Management is Nuts
Store Clerk/Cashier (Former Employee) – Bartow, FL – June 13, 2019
For the pay, the work isn't worth it. You will work for hours on end, sometimes with no break and closing shifts would get the worst of the work having only two people close the whole store at times. The coworkers were great but the pay and the people you often dealt with made this job almost unbearable.
Good People
Meat Manager (Former Employee) – Kansas City, KS – June 13, 2019
Good people haven't worked there in a while so there is not much to tell I worked in the meat department no previous meat experience in less than a month they offered me Meat Manager position.
Save-a-Lot food stores Review
Cashier and Stock Clerk (Summer Position) (Current Employee) – DeMotte, IN – June 13, 2019
When it was shipment day, coworkers and I would place grocery items on U-boats and place them onto their designated shelf. Once this was completed, we would typically maintain other areas of the store such as stocking milk and dairy, facing and de-boxing, bringing carts back inside, and putting any backstock onto shelves.
Decent place to work at.
Grocery Store Associate (Former Employee) – Caribou, ME – June 13, 2019
Fairly low stress environment but may be somewhat physically demanding depending on the person. Must be willing to help and work with customers while maintaining a happy demeanor.
A train wreck
Fresh Department Manager (Former Employee) – Del City, OK – June 13, 2019
I was with the store from the opening day. From day 1 it was clear the managment had no plans of conducting themselves properly. They allowed the produce supervisor to no call no show 10 times in 6 months. The company changed upper district managers 4 times in 1 year and hr was a disaster. There wasn't 1 person that you could get a straight answer from. And if there was any issues of harrassment or any other sort of issues there wasn't anyone to go to. The present manager didn't even know how to run the store. The assistant manager would have to do most of the business related work. He would just open up the store and stock the shelves when he wasn't in his office watching YouTube or baseball.
Pros
It was a paying job
Cons
Horrible Management, no employee support, unorganized company that doesn't follow its own policy.
Fast-paced and exciting
Stocker/Cashier/Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Topeka, IN – June 13, 2019
I loved working at Save-A-Lot. As far as grocery store jobs go, I was paid exceptionally well at my store. I felt like I was friends with all my co-workers and managers, both on and off the clock. I only left because I had to move to a new town a couple hours away. Sad to leave such a great group of workers and regular customers I knew by name.
Energetic and ready to start.
Stocker/Cashier (Current Employee) – New Orleans, LA – June 13, 2019
I’m ready to prove how much of a hard worker I am working here at Save-A-Lot. The hiring manager was really nice and straight forward and was also helping out the business as well all at the same time. Ready to work for her.
Ok work place if you don't have a family or bills

Co workers were decent/ bad management
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Winder, GA – June 12, 2019
Co workers were good at helping you, but management at the time was not very good.
Turnover of management was bad as well. District manager was constantly in and out of the store for various reasons I wasn’t aware of.

Stressful, poor management
Cashier (Former Employee) – Duquoin – June 12, 2019
The person managing the store was laughable. You get a 10 minute break for an 8 hour shift. Store was dirty, and I felt like I was the only one actually doing work. One manager would often sneak to the back of the store to nap. Ridiculous.
Cons
Short breaks, low pay, overworked
