10 reviews of King Soopers 'My all time favorite grocery store! Every time I come in I feel like I'm amongst family with the patrons and employees. Today is their very first day of their ClickList program and I was their very firsts customer.
I started as a courtesy clerk in 2014. Eventually got tired of working upfront and got promoted to bakery clerk in 2015. I was trained on almost everything. I became the most reliable clerk. Eventually the hours got cut, like they do every year, and I was tired of 20 to 25 hours a week at 12.50 an hour. Finally put in my papers and I got promoted in my store and didn't have to transfer. I didn't have much to learn because I knew mostly everything. Fast forward to now, it's awful. New processes, hours being cut, no help. I have no time for breaks and barely time for a lunch. I usually work on my lunch because they expect schedules to be done on mondays (which I'm not supposed to do them because I'm an assistant. ). If I take my breaks and lunch, nothing will get done because there is so much to do and no help. They cut my hours and I'm expected to fill all the cases on the sales floor, fill all the tables(which I have stuff through the store), do markdowns by 9am, break my frozen load down, and have everything full by 9am or 8am on weekends. They expect full shelves constantly even though I can't help we rely on system to forecast what the tables need and order most of my stuff that's frozen. High expectations from upper management and corporate. My store managers are decent. Most of them come to help without a fit. It's funny how I can't have my clerks scheduled the way I need them but they can keep me on overtime almost everyday to finish everything. These corporate people have NO idea what it's like to work in these departments. Working here is like being in a prison, honestly.more... Before all this new nonsense, we would do our jobs and laugh and everything would get done. Now it's all do this is x amount of time. They want faster and faster now. They want things done so fast yet they make us waste our time on top of the hour walks, first touch walks, and fresh at 5 walks. Like I am always working from the moment I get there til i leave. No one gets that. I usually have to stay because I don't want to leave my closer with a huge amount of stuff when they have so much in a 4 to 5 hour shift. This job is a good starting job but for me, this is not my career and I will not stay for much longer. I stay for the full time and the pay, I won't find this anywhere I can guarantee that. Also no work life balance. 40 plus hours a week and it's hard to keep a set schedule. We are allowed one Saturday and one Sunday off a month and I can't take them off because I dont have the people to. I only get those days off when I take my vacations. I love my coworkers though. I have met some amazing people here. A lot of people work so hard here and it's never enough. Nothing will change with this company.less
