The ability to balance my work and home life

Review from HR Dept

The people I work with, but comp needs more assessments

Review from HR Dept

Seeing the impact we have in so many factors of daily life.

Review from HR Dept

Everything except for the fact that it isn't fully remote. Think if we're going to have a hybrid model, the incentive of compensated meals or emphasis on team-building events should be a minimum

Review from HR Dept

My coworkers. They need my help and I need theirs. We belong together.

Review from HR Dept

accomplishing a goal, even the smallest

Review from Retail Dept

The work I do. I feel like I contribute to the company's success.

Review from Operations Dept

Supporting my team and ensuring they have the tools and confidence they need to perform well and be amazing partners for the organization.

I love hearing success stores and positive feedback from the leadership.

Review from HR Dept

I have the power to affect change, and help people.

Review from HR Dept

being able to help the stores and helping hire future team members who may not know all that WFM has to offer but will now find out and maybe make a career out of it that they never expected

Review from HR Dept

There's a lot of opportunity to experiment, try, fail, try, succeed, try, fail, etc. Innovation and creativity are really valued and ideating is highly encouraged.

Review from HR Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Leadership should be diverse. Leadership is at least 65% white. The company has no diversity, equity & inclusion department or programs. HR needs to be 1-step above Ops. Not because they deserve authority, but the HR people are too afraid to make change because of the power imbalance.

Review from Operations Dept

My leader is not a great communicator, I am treated as an entry level professional and my particular business group is not respected among the company

Review from Operations Dept

Some days I feel overworked.

Review from Operations Dept

There is no consistent direction in tech, I haven't really understood my role for my 2+ years with the company. The organization is weirdly siloed

Review from IT Dept

Career paths have been muddied by a transformation to a more Amazon-like structure. The time scale is uncertain on when people can really step into new opportunities and that can be demotivating.

Review from IT Dept

The reason most of us work at WFM is because it is more than just another job. All of those reasons are being eroded quickly.

Review from IT Dept

the culture is slowly fading over the years

Review from Customer Support Dept

The work load needs to be lightened and they need to hire more employees full time

Review from Customer Support Dept

Poor standard and lack of proper training

Review from Sales Dept

i honestly dont even know anymore. the whole moral and culture of the store has been lost since they first did the dramatic layoffs 2 or 3 years ago. i dont think they can ever regain what they had, they got too big and too corporate.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Too much time is wasted on computers, no interactions with customers or team. no more quality standards on products, just push Prime. company needs to go back to basics care about the community it is in, teach people about healthy eating again. Education would get more customers than promoting Prime

Review from Customer Support Dept

It is a difficult and demanding work environment during the summer months.

Review from Sales Dept

nothing to do with whole foods and more to do with me despising being a cashiere. i feel like whole foods is a good place to do a job you hate though.

Review from Sales Dept

They show lots of favoritism

Review from Admin Dept

Have to stand all day

Review from Customer Support Dept

Management needs to be retrained in all aspects of their departments

Review from Operations Dept

What do you like best about your company?

The environment and culture. They definitely take care of us.

Review from Sales Dept

Quality of work

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Less expected work load
