Whole Foods Market Employee Reviews in Ashburn, VA

Well-compensated relative to similar jobs in area. Collaborative work environment with excellent coworkers. Quickly paced due to common staff shortages; but this is made up for by the quality of existing staff.

Good Job

Produce Team Member (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - 19 February 2021

Worked there for over a year, depending on your department your manager is usually good. Scheduling is usually pretty flexible and you can get as many hours as you want.

Pros

Pay and hours

Cons

Consistently micromanaged, labor intensive

Everything fell apart once new management came in.

Cashier (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - 7 May 2019

Things were great before new leadership came in. Now they just get rid of ppl for little things. Every dept struggles to find workers. They dont always give you the hours you want and they say one thing and another. Write ups are a hobby of theirs.

Pros

Food

Cons

Horrible management. Fake personalities.

Good days & bad days.

Team Member (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - 11 April 2019

When store first opened, it was great. Met a lot of " interesting" people. Went down hill real fast! Too many management changes. Too many changes within dept. Many wonderful days with lots of happy customers.

Pros

discount

Cons

too many changes all at once.

It was stressfull

Meat Clerk (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - 25 October 2018

If you worked in a department besides Fresh Foods or Meat you probably wouldn't be rushing as much to finish closing, but it's just awful for closers. The openers made the place into a train wreck that single person had to clean up.

Pros

Lots of benefits

Cons

Cleaning up after at least 4 other employees.

Pros

20% discount on everything

Cons

Schedule changes every week

Good place to work

Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) - Ashburn, VA - 24 April 2018

Good place to work with a friendly atmosphere. You are given a lot of leeway to do things to make sure that the customer is satisfied, and are rewarded for good work.

A better place than most other grocery stores in terms of benefits.

Team Member (Former Employee) - Fairfax, VA, Ashburn, VA - 8 March 2017

A better place than most other grocery stores in terms of benefits. Good pay for retail. Great full-time benefits. I met a lot of wonderful people who really try to do good for their peers and leaders who worked hard for their teams. Growth potential was fantastic: I was able to move up incredibly fast, but this is changing. The company is restructuring and eliminating leadership positions through attrition, so a significant slow down in open leadership positions. Slow and steady increase in pressure trying to cram what was multiple jobs into single positions. Bad decisions made regarding training programs, gutting, bringing back and regutting trainer positions for the sake of money.

Pros

Met a lot of good people there. Both fellow team membets and customers, Pay, Health Benefits, 401(k) benefits

Cons

Leadership resteucturing, Short breaks, Late night hours
