What I liked

Whole Foods has a culture of sustainability and giving back to the community, which made me feel good about working for them. I also really enjoyed how friendly the people who work there are! They were super welcoming, and I made good friends during my time there.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been there long enough to utilize there volunteerism programs. For people who have worked at Whole Foods for at least 6 months, they have the opportunity to travel and do community service for through the Whole Foods charity foundations.

Advice

It's important to be able to make friends wherever you go. It's not always possible, but it makes life so much easier to enjoy the people you're around. It's also a better environment to work in when you trust all of your coworkers and managers to be looking out for you.

Bakery Team Member

June 2018 - August 2019 • Denver, CO

What I liked

I loved the team I got to be a part of and I loved getting to learn so many new skills. This job allowed me to build my resume and develop versatile skills.

What I wish was different

I wish that my requests to deal with a problem team member would've been taken more seriously. I went to upper management because she was making my work environment uncomfortable, but I really didn't see a lot of repercussions for her, which is disappointing because it took a lot of courage to tell someone what was happening.

Advice

I think the best advice I can give is to be open to any opportunity. Yes, I sliced bread, made chantilly, and packaged tons of desserts, but the job was way more than that. I learned how to communicate better, gained more confidence, learned how to work on a team and really grew from a job I didn't even think much of

What I liked

It was a relaxed job with some day-to-day variety and lots of friendly people.

What I wish was different

I mean some days I just wasn't feeling the 5am shifts, but I mean it is what it is.

Advice

Be ready to learn what an 8-hour work day is like. This was my first job with regular hours like that, and I feel like it was a good experience for me to know what that's like now.
