Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I get lots of support
they read my emotions well and know when to back off.
They treat me like a person, and leave me alone to do my job.
Review from Operations Dept
Their personality and willingness to work directly with you regardless of what their title is.
Review from Operations Dept
They are invisible, or in other words Missing in Action
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Support the new hires. And listen and tell the employee what they are doing wrong
Review from Operations Dept
Training for associates is poor. Management doesn't seem to have much concern about how this affects associates. Those who perform poorly seem to be rewarded while those who keep the boat from sinking receive little to no recognition and being promoted is out of the question.
Communication. And coming out of their offices from time to time.
Communication and policy decisions, as well as the use of company funds and the direction of the company. We're looking at a recession most likely this year but the company is heavily leveraged with debt from the past year. I don't believe that leadership has a game plan for an economic downturn.
Review from Operations Dept
This place makes u stay long hours that will drain u. Thet have wrong people working in wrong departments that will maybe do much better in other departments.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Well thought of and fair
Company match up to 4% on 401K contributions.
I like that they have added Auto, pet and home insurance.
Review from Operations Dept
The raises and pay structure is consistent and relatively fair.
Review from Operations Dept
Insurance was good and pay was ok
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Communication is very poor from management. Its always a one way conversation
Review from Operations Dept
When I was hired, I felt like I got a promotion and a pay cut at the same time. The pay across the board varies so wildly. I have more responsibility than the selectors, but I get paid less.
Stock shares as a monthly payment, better base pay, affordable benefit,better 401k matching and more vacation cause I work hard.
Review from Operations Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Cant conplain about anything they are the best

My team is small (like 5 people) and I like them.
Meh...they care about me in the work

We all work very well together and we all share the workload.
Review from Operations Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Training and communication across departments need improvement
My coworkers are the best. We were #1 in the nation for 2 years straight. Just need to get back to it after a hard year that took a lot out of us.
Review from Operations Dept
We did not have meetings
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Never has anyone treated me bad.
Review from Operations Dept
UNFI is passionate about recognizing associates for work above and beyond.
Review from Operations Dept
Employees are fairly recognized. HR is great!
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Improved safety, getting off a mainframe, overhauling how every process works so there's more fail safes to ensure quality and accuracy.
Get rid of supervisors and management who bring a negative energy. Stop the blaming and finger pointing. Less negative reinforcement.
Review from Operations Dept
Too many negative people and making us compete
Just realistic goals and hours
Review from Operations Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
Fast and to the point
It's pretty easy. Show up, answer a few questions and pass a drug test and you're in.
What I enjoyed was that I got hired I did not like the fact that I had to apply online and couldn't call and talk to somebody before putting in a resume
Review from Operations Dept
Documents are made available to ensure candidates are being asked relevant questions related to their job.
Review from Operations Dept
The supervisor who interviewed me was a no nonsense guy.
Review from Operations Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
They dont communicate anything about how it works
Review from Operations Dept
They will hire just about anyone
What makes you most happy at work?
Knowing i have some family life besides worrking long hours
My colleagues & customers. Helping others.
When I don't have to fight to get the bare minimum I need to my job. Also when my supervisor goes home for the day.
Having all of the available tools I need to do my job.
Review from Operations Dept
I feel appreciated by the company
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
They dont listen to the customers request to simple things like shrink wrapping pallets
Review from Operations Dept
what's hard is that I work too much but I don't get enough time off and I don't get enough PTO to take time off when it matters and when I ask for time off I don't get it when it matters.
Review from Operations Dept
I think it's too late to right the ship. There are inherent flaws that I've seen not just at my location but nationwide. The problem is too big for me to come up with a solution, plus I don't get paid to worry about that nonsense. In a few years unfi will either survive or be limping badly.
Review from Operations Dept
Was not looking forward to work because they had me working in wrong field
