Pros of working at Raley's

Raleys always supported of what I wanted to do but as soon as i became a manger, we were over worked to the point where our store director told us that we were worth 4 people when we were just one.

Cons of working at Raley's

Our store director wanted all the managers to be women and no men. All managers told you what you could do better and no recognition for how hard you worked.

Pros of working at Raley's

The people are nice and the store is right next to a gym.

Cons of working at Raley's

Crazy homeless people hang around.

Raley's benefits

They are understanding of any other schedules or obligations I may have.

What do you like best about Raley's's CEO and the leadership team?

They're friendly and usually on top of any concerns I bring them.

How would you improve Raley's's culture?

Managers and supervisers don't always communicate everything, for example, when a manager changes a previously established rule.

How did you prepare for the Raley's interview?

As an autistic man, I dressed as nicely as I could, played through all the scenarios I could think of in my head, and made it a point to be as specific as I could be with the information I have; careful not to miscommunicate in such a way as to offend someone unintentionally. It's not perfect.

How does your compensation at Raley's compare to the industry average?

I make around minimum wage which to my understanding is the average on the store level. I don't know what the average is on a corperate level.

What's the diversity at Raley's like?

My store has two autistic people currently employed to the best of my knowledge. I've heard the term "popular issue" tossed around. Sehr interessant. Also, I think you mean divergent.

What brings you the most joy at Raley's?

I get to interact with people I wouldn't normally interact with which can be good or bad.

Pros of working at Raley's

Honestly, not a bad job overall, I worked in the Deli/Bakery dept., and the labor itself wasn't too bad, I almost enjoyed it at times

Cons of working at Raley's

The management at my location did not really care about their employees. They acted nice and pretended like they were going to help, but never really did anything about some of our 'less productive' coworkers, including a few senior employees who blatantly broke the health code on a regular basis.
