Whole Foods Market Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 267 reviews
I like working at Whole Foods. I’ve been in 3 different positions at the store, and everyone has been supportive of me. They’re very good with my scheduling needs and the pay isn’t terrible. The job is easy and not stressful. I am the opener in my department and I usually feel pretty safe being there at 4am. I agree with their vision, and like how they’re conscientious of their environmental impact.
If I could change the pay I would. I feel as if they could pay their employees more. I would also like it more if it wasn’t owned by Amazon. They have made some changes I don’t agree with.
I would say overall it’s a pretty average job. I’ve learned a lot about the workforce, and I’ve gained leadership experience which will help me in my future career.

I worked there from 2018-2021 and then left to finish school, but ultimately I ended up back at Whole Foods.
From 2018-2021, Whole Foods went through a lot of changes such as being bought (and then dropped) from Amazon and a more corporate attitude which rubbed many workers the wrong way especially since the corporate attitude brought the mindset that a skeleton crew was the way to run and that employees were to blame for any shortcomings of the manager.
I finally left to finish school and try out other jobs, but in the time I was gone Whole Foods cleaned up the staff and fired all of the abusive managers. I interpreted this as the company listening to employee concerns and have now been working there for a few months with no problems.
Whole Foods does fall behind in terms of education and scholarships as there are none; but as far as retail goes- they have great PTO and give out hefty yearly raises.
Overall, I'd say Whole Foods is a great company to work for now more than ever.

My experience at Whole Foods Market has mostly been fine. I have worked here both part and full time and have been very grateful to have a boss and store management that have been considerate and accommodating to my schedule. The work can be hard at times, especially with lots of turnover and people calling out for their shifts. However, I have stayed at this company for almost 2 years now because of the above minimum wage pay and how much I enjoy my management. Because the company is so large, every store and department in each store can yield a very different worker experience.
