Pros

ESOP Stock Program Good Insurance

Cons

Starting pay rate is terrible! They say their competive but not in my state as you can work at McDonald's and get paid more. All other grocery stores pay more. You have to deal with the rudest customers and WinCo won't have your back. You have to not only do a managers job but everyone else's because we can't keep people because of lack of pay. People need money now not later and even though they have good insurance it doesn't make up for the lack of pay. They all have their clicks to with the managers so if your not part of the click watch your back. Several employees have the store manager and assistant store managers in their phone when their only a cashier. I see text from other employers that the managers send making jokes, saying what's up, etc.. Favoritism is a huge thing at all the WinCos I've worked at. When corporate is in town you have to make sure the place looks extra nice and they will cover up what are store really looks like from day to day to dave their butts. If we left the store how it always looks then maybe corporate would see we need help. All the managers text or call each other when corporates in town and let's each other know what location they are at, when their leaving, and if their close to you. It's all a joke here but no one will stand up and say a word because their to dang scared.

Pros

Great hourly pay (differs by region). Great benefits. Employee owned stock options.

Cons

Experience differs from store to store and is very dependent on managers. Terrible company leaders as of 2020. Company is peddling back from very pro employee environment every year. Long time employees see the company heading a sad direction. ESOP and growth is stagnant and only beneficial to those with 15-20+ years with the company. No matching 401k to boot. Long time company leaders are no longer qualified for their positions. They are unable to adapt the large scale that we are now and answer only to the board which consists of themselves... Problematic.

Pros

I like a hand full of my co workers.

Cons

This company is a mess. They have no idea how to run a successful business and keep enployees feel heard and appreciated. The new people get the brunt of the work load while upper management doesn't step in to help. Tons of food wasted because they don't know how to order properly. Expired food put on shelves and the meat and cheese fridges are not cleaned regularly. The company has potential to be great but they miss the mark on a lot because they don't listen to their employees needs. They seriously should consider a more effective business model. I'm not going to he staying around for much longer that's for su poore.
