Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
What leadership? My department manager is yelled at for a single box being empty on the floor. Upper management gets paid 100k while we get payed pennies and have our hours cut. They dont listen, nor care. They don't treat us as human beings.
Communication and encouragement to move up in company
They listen and help overcome obstacles
Have had real life conversations about stuff and they have been the most receptive to my needs and have helped tremendously. Couldn't ask for better store management.
Leadership teams function extremely well when everyone is included for the best success of the company and not selfish relations. A team needs Leadership to run on a stable daily basis. If the leader is not practicing good selfless management every teammate member would enjoy coming to work everyday
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Team work. No drama. Priorities. Communication.
Review from Product Dept
Positive imput. Instead of cutting hours drastically n wanting more for less out of your hard working employees, show them some appreciation.
Fairness better management better communication
Everything. Care about ALL of us not just not your favorites.
Everything! They dont listen or genuinely care for employees or customers at all!
What is the best part about your compensation package?
My retirement plan(esop) and 401k

It is given, not taken from your mini, non existent check
Review from Customer Support Dept
The company stock is privately owned so it doesn't fluctuate as much as public stock.
The ESOP and insurance programs
Its soso. The insurence is ok.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
A living wage so I can afford to live.
Better pay along with better hours. ACTUAL bonuses not a gift card to the store, thats pathetic
There's other stores where employee own they pay more lawmore was with the job they will require to do management. Ask us to do 3 task for task at a time. It means we have to do more work for less pay
I feel like I am doing the work of multiple people, and I feel like working freight deserves more than $1 extra in pay
Compensation for the many task being added to my job title like training.
What are some of the best things about your team?
High work ethic. Kind. Compassion. Thoughtful
We all agree on the issues, we work together for ourselves, not management. We understand when things dont work, and we support each other when management is cruel to us.
There are some really hard workers with out team
Positive attitudes and our team focuses on effective and optimal work performance
Supportive 100%. People who care about people.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Communication and respect for other human beings.
It's hard to be a good coworker in a punitive environment.
We need corporate members to step in and get down and dirty with their hands to really know what's happening in these corrupt stores.
Review from Sales Dept
Be more professional. Treat your workers with more respect. Keep the gossip and bullying out of the work place.
All workers we need to speak up and gets management. They are not doing nothing to employee safety
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The employees try to make the best of the bad situation, we are there for the health insurance, ESOP, and because mostly we are unqualified to go anywhere else. Stick together and make the best of it
Review from Customer Support Dept
We are a team and work together to make the store operate great.
My coworkers are friendly and open.
Our coworkers. We care for each other, and back each other up. The work itself if physical and feels fulfilling. The customers are sometimes a bother but overall dont cause us issues.
I think my fellow employees gave my work environment its pisitivety. We all got aling and were willing yo help one another
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Communication. Team work. And NO drama
Review from Product Dept
Employee appreciate. More positive feedback from executives. Make it more family oriented like it used to be.
Better ppeople working the job
Stop criticizing your employees constantly and actually help them improve
Employee pay, management, and plenty of other things
What did you like most about the interview process?
Single interview, single interviewer. The process was open and direct.
I liked my experience interviewing with both of the managers that I have had at WinCo, however I did not like the fact that I was pressured into transferring by my current manager.
my manager at the time, be sure to ask me the right question it made me feel comfortable during my interview.
Review from Product Dept
Structured questions and openness from management
It was quick and easy
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Actually post the real wage on your site. The company posted 17 an hour for part time, when the cap at the time was 16.50. Have management remember who you actually are, give them time to do the interview without being interrupted.
Internal candidates should have notification or some communication after applying to other roles.
More to the point question. Deeper prior employment checks.
Are you guys picking out roast retaliation
Not discrimination Please , we are same , we need to work
Review from Product Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
The co-workers, and the regular customers
Review from Customer Support Dept
Being appreciated for my hard work and team work
Selling to the customers. Product recommendations and money saving tips and recipes with what we have on the shelf.
I liked my job before i went from 5days to 2 or 1 day. I liked foung what i was told and having a steady environment.
Review from Product Dept
Seeing my coworkers and not sitting for my job.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
All the focus is being as cheap as possible and that includes our wages.
Apply the same rules. Don't give PCs to one person but not the other people that are also doing the same thing wrong. Seems like they try to get rid of you right before you are fully vested.
Better carts more leads better opportunities
Unrealistic expectations from management that has no clue in what job entails and no interest in finding out. How about they take the time to find out.
They've had years to fix issues that plaque numerous stores. Bottom line is WinCo doesn't care about its employees. It's all about profit and how to cut corners to make managers huge bonuses while employees get crumbs.
