Fun place to work
Specialty Team Member (Former Employee) – Ashburn, VA – May 18, 2018
The customers are all so nice. I worked with a team that got along great and loved being there. It was exhausting some days, but each day was different. I got to talk to customers and explain products and our values to them.
Pros
20% discount on everything
Cons
Schedule changes every week

Team Supervisor (Former Employee) – North Miami, FL – August 18, 2018
Whole Foods is a great company to work for. They value the experience of the team members. The scheduling while I was there was not as flexible as I needed for continuing my MBA. That is why I left. The company is great and one day I may go back.
Pros
Culture, Benefits, Leadership
Cons
Flexibility of scheduling
Pro: Healthcare Con: Everything else
Retail Buyer (Former Employee) – St. Louis, MO – August 18, 2018
High stress working environment. Starting TMs have low wages, terrible hours, and expensive healthcare. If you can push past that to get into a full time position, the stress increases and your healthcare costs become reasonable. It's barely worth it.
Ok place to work
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Boston, MA – August 17, 2018
Typical day at work come in and clock in. Walk over to the supervisor working at the time and they'll tell you to bag or be a cashier. They'll see who needs a break or who is off and you'll take over for them. Since the introduction of prime savings the hardest part was being an employee of Amazon. Being forced to market for Amazon Prime was tiring and did not come in the job description. I applied for a customer service job, not marketing. Had to ask every customer if they're a prime member then proceed to wait 5 minutes while they fumble with their phone and you have to give them a sales pitch about how it all works.
Pros
You can ask for whatever days you want to work, Work one day a week or work 4 days a week, You get an employee discount card, No uniform
Cons
Most likely won't give you Sundays to work, everyone wants Sundays time and a half, expectation to be extra happy and excited around customers, minimal work life balance
Overall a great place to work with good values, and good benefits
Specialty Supervisor (Current Employee) – Sarasota, FL – August 17, 2018
I started at my store when it was a brand new store opening, and within just a few months I got my first promotion and have been presented with many other opportunities to help with my advancement.
Collaborative unique working environment, with high energy motivated team members.
Assistant Team Leader (Former Employee) – The Woodlands, TX – August 17, 2018
Customer interaction was well rounded. I was business savvy and knew ordering and purchasing techniques so I was successful in managing a department and inventory control.
Cons
Training was lacking, I came in with the knowledge and tools to be successful but other team leaders were not so lucky.

Amazon killed it
Coffee Bar Team Trainer (Current Employee) – Seattle, WA – August 16, 2018

Fun and exciting
Prepared Foods Team Member (Former Employee) – Alexandria, VA – August 15, 2018
A typical day at work would be laid back especially when you're enjoying time at work because of staff that created such a welcoming place to come work. everyone is very helpful, and the customers are friendly and patient. As time goes by you realize that you have expanded your knowledge by applying them not just for work but as a life style.
Pros
discounts
Cons
rush hour
