Pros

Probably the best reason to work at Whole Foods is the work life balance. People are generally friendly and the work can be interesting.

Cons

In the I.T. department, salaries and benefits are way below average. At a benefit category 2, which covers most Programmer/Analysts I's and II's, you only get 15 days off a year. No holidays, no sick time. Just 15 days. The health care plan is one of the worst I have ever had.

Pros

They offered good health insurance plans. They also had a good salary and position ladder.

Cons

Upper management and HR at this location are extremely ineffective at problem solving. If you are a worker here or plan to be, for your sake please document everything and have written and logged communication of incidents. Be careful with fictitious, unfair, and biased write ups. Ask management to be clear about communication and have them provide a written statement of their complaints and make sure they give you the opportunity to rectify mistakes that happen due to inadequate and inconsistent training. They will pull you upstairs with verbal accusations so that they can control the narrative. Management will work together to gaslight and get you fired if they do not like you. Management also has favorites that they look out for and turn a blind eye to. They are not effective at correcting behavior from team members, shift leads, etc.
