Rural King employee reviews
Based on 13 ratings
There was an amazing work community. Like a family.
Management asn't very professional and didn't care about the needs of the workers.
Discount.
People
They don't expect management to help out when busy. Product on trucks is always the same thing when we have holes on the shelves for months. Higher ups won't listen to their own employees. Cut a ton of jobs when they could have saved money elsewhere. Maybe the 2 million dollars they spend on popcorn and cut back on trucks we don't need everyday with the same product.
Not many
They think the way it worked 60 years ago still works. It dont.
I already mentioned it
A couple people I work close with that have to pick up the slack from the unhelpful management
It could be better, but I know a lot worse
It's good
Working with great people
Company culture has gotten worse
There are less benefits now compared to six years ago
Company seems to be going in reverse, as in downhill
Depends on location, some are very respectful, others are rude
Think twice before you actually take the job offer
The employees
Management, the cast society of ideology
Decent prices. Pets can shop. The water is cheap. Employees are helpful.
Was a good company to work for a few years ago.
6 years with company. You can be a very loyal hardworking person who has missed a handful of days in 6 yrs, an the can tell you something an turn around and do what they want to your family. Never have I ever had a job where they told you what a great employee you are an how hard you work an then come in and cut your hourly wage by $1.50 an hour. How is that Even legal?
Nothing now
The people, the pay, the job oppourtunities

real family atmosphere

They were not good at scheduling whatsoever.

Forklift operator. And being by myself most of three shift
