Natural Grocers Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Internal growth and promotion- they truly believe in you

Happy, friendly people who want to take care of each other

Review from Customer Success Dept

The coworkers i had at that job

They try to promote good health and efforts to take care of the Earth

The company cares about work life balance with hourly crew. They support wellness and give free nutrition education to the crew. The crew sets each other up for success. Everyone supports everyone.

Vitamin bucks, though they are leveraged to abuse crew further by love bombing them under the illusion of 'supportive benefits'

Strong culture of health and wellness.

The commitment to healthy lifestyle through company policy of 30min lunches and 15 minute breaks as well as zero contact off the clock (if it does need to happen they add 15mins to your paycheck).

The crew and the customers.

The culture between my peers and I is very empowering, we all support each other and care about each others success. We thrive by building each other up and respecting each other.

The cons drastically out weigh the pros.

There is common bonds between co-workers. They care about nutrition, food quality, animal welfare and the planet

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Maybe owners should open a line of communication and ask how managers are really being treated and do something about. Stop keeping your managers in the dark too

Poor leadership and a hostile environment and an ASM who yells.

Review from Customer Success Dept

The expectation for salaried employees to work 24/7 even when at home or not at work.
