Pros

They are always hiring. Esop is good.

Cons

I tried to move up for years before I finally gave up and decided to move on. Management promoted people who would kiss butt. I guess that's why corporate went in and cleaned house not long after I left. Both store and assistant store manager were fired along with at least a dozen regular employees

Pros

Amazing benefits!!!! I cannot stress that enough! under $40 per month for an entire family to get 85% paid PPO/dental/vision! ESOP (employee stock ownership) is amazing! it's free money! Room to advance if you are hard working, I know, I did! - Pay is also very good, in the portland market you top off at 17.75 (full time) part time (which is what most people are) is 13.50 or so. Pay increases are automatic, every 1040 hours you receive at least a .50 cent or so increase.

Cons

In my just under 5 years working at two stores I saw a lot of corporatism being implemented. I can say it definitely was and is not the company that originally hired me... Over corporatism creating too many high level high paying positions while benefits are being reduced (no more bonuses to the average employees etc) Bonuses to store management extremely disproportion to department managers. ESOP Value grows less every year if it grows at all! our last statement the esop value did not grow at all!

esop.for the most part. lots of people left that are doing an excellent job.many new people that are working hard.excellent career advancements for the right people.new stores opening up giving the opportunity to advance at lighting speed!

Cons

10 yrs of service . was a job envied by everyone.really was" living the dream".company took a crash when went corporate a few years back.we no longer feel the love.sad,sad. ending for us core employees. there is only the bottom line.you can trade a employee with tenure for three minimum wage new hires. winco is moving in a new direction.they want change to happen.Not good for us that are out of the loop and evidently not good guessers.
