Working at Fry's Food Stores Inc

friendly employees and customers

pushing the carts in the SUMMER when it’s very hot outside

salary packaging, i don’t know

My coworkers

The pay, unreasonable expectations. Corporate wanting more and more in less time with no ifs, ands or buts. They put the responsibility of the entire dept on 1 person per shift

Affordable insurance

Catholic.....none

Frys food stores

The store closing down

Always busy

Lack of good communication, unrealistic expectations, and management are all on different pages they don't have a joint goal in mind.

Union

Inclusive, Fair, and Flexible with the associates

Not able to Grow as fast as needed.

Flexability with scheduleing.

Haha. Not much, really.

They treat me terribly, you don’t get health insurance till you’ve been there for after a YEAR. And you won’t get a normal weekend until you’ve “gained seniority” which will take about a year. You only get two ten minute breaks during a 8 hour shift, so if you plan on eating and going to the bathroom, good luck trying to run through the store to make all that happen. Also the pay is *terrible*. Risking my life during the worst of covid for nothing. Do. Not. Work. There.

😑 let’s see if I stay there long enough to even see them.

used a time clock so we always were paid for every hour worked

Insurance and retirement

After about two weeks it's pretty mindless. Generally people are friendly. I had a very understanding and relatable Manager and asst. manager. I shared some of the best jokes and laughs with the two clerks I rotated shifts with .

It being so mindless, is why it was so hard to understand why people didn't do their job correctly. I also would run myself empty and work through damn near every sickness I had, only to have my managers criticize something minuscule. This was all while several co-workers did so little, I would spend up to an hour a day finishing what they should have, and they never received any consequence or added supervision. The store managers also showed me multiple times how they didn't care for my needs or well being. I didn't receive a paycheck one week. So I went straight to my asst. store manager. He assured me he would find it and call me by the end of the day(I had rent due that day). No call. Next day he was out of work. Third day with no pay, he walks past, smiles, and say's "Good morning, Hope you're having a Frystastic day!)".
