PCC Community Markets reviews

I think they forgot what made the co-op great and now that is lost forever. The new CEO is turning it into a Whole Foods or maybe worse. Maybe she'll just sell it off. She came in about a year ago and asked the staff to complete a survey, it was overwhelmingly negative and she was taken back, nothing was changed. Now she wants another survey, sending out an email to all staff that has a PCC email account saying "last year I received nothing helpful from staff feedback. Try harder" Everyone at that worlds at the cooperate level with her follow her around like royalty. She brought in her friends from leadership at Whole Foods and other major grocery stores. She invited Amazon to take over our back rooms for prime customers. This brings in about an extra $300,000 a month and that has all gone to her moving the cooperate office from the udistrict, where it has been forever, to the busy Amazon/westlake district. She won't even pay for IT to go out to the stores anymore and all of our tech problems have to be handled over the phone. It feels weird to say that she is turning this business into some sort of...business. But that's all I can think of on how to describe it. Who do we admire any more and who do we follow? Is it that wrong to feel that you have enough? As the profits grow, the hours are cut, the union is saturated with unhelpful advice and sometimes won't even respond to you. It's hard to leave if you need the insurance like I do. But is the stress worth it? I'm running out of steam here...

Worse place to work so much that I have to convince myself just to go in every day. Management team is inconsistent and will "nit pick" you to death making you almost feel as if you are being bullied. Stupid policies such as we are only allow to drink water in the checkstands which is frustrating when I'm clearly an adult and know how to drink coffee without spilling it. Favoritism is well known throughout the company as they hire based on how well you play the game versus actually knowledge and experience. Oh, and if they wanna get rid of you they will find a reason regardless of the union so don't think that you are safe. They say that they are open in their communications with the employees but then judge you and shut you down if your ideals dont conform to theirs. Company ten years ago use to care about the employees bending over backwards but now it's all about making those sales. Need to call in sick? Expect to be guilt tripped and questioned about how sick you really are. Knew an employee who came in sick with his ears bleeding because they wouldn't let him call in even though he had two ear infections. Find another place to work and save your soul. Customers suck as well. Treat you like you're their servant. Company is turning into a corporation.
