What don't you like about working at Stop & Shop?

"There's really not much opportunity for growth. There is a big emphasis, at-least in my location, on favoritism. This affects your scheduling, at work experience, rules set for individuals etc etc...The company also seems very backwards thinking in which they prefer making a profit than improving employee's experience which in turn affects and ruins the whole employee to customer experience.for example...as a cashier I cannot show a customer where something is I would have to find someone who is usually not around.things that require a supervisor key some are ridiculous and hold up lines and etc making the checkout process tedious at times specially when they are people in line waiting.I will add that I also was receiving for about a year and even though all the department heads loved me and committed not one mistake...as soon as we got a new supervising manager in my dept because he felt I didn't like him my hours were dropped with no warning and not only that, I was also removed of my duties and moved to cashier from one day to the next. worse yet, they had a meeting without me to come to that decision.Coming in I was also promised a way to ease into full time and get the specific training. When I said I lacked transportation they all but shunned me and said there was no way to go full time if I wasn't willing to travel. Which in my financial state is nearly impossible. I was hoping I could get a full-time position and save up for a car to then be able to travel and even that suggestion was shut down. I'm basically left stuck in my current position of low pay and ever changing scheduling with no chance to move up."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"management should focus on actually doing their jobs. Many times have I've seen other employees break rules but not get penalized for it.This becomes very annoying and discouraging specially when favoritism is involved. You will often see others move up to positions with better hours or pay without putting in the work, beyond frustrating. also the employee-manager relationship isnt good ...atleast in my location they will smile at certain people and scold specific ones regardless of their performance. I dont get the feeling they care or want to know if we have any ideas or anything to offer to the company except doing what they tell us to."

"It is not a bad place to work at...if your team is a good one, yet at the same time I cant see making a career out of this maybe a part time on the side. Seems all the Full timers are older and have been with the company for years. Now they make you jump through too many hoops like (for example) how they have the ability to move you anywhere within a 25 mile radius for full time...which totally killed that opportunity for me as I dont even own a vehicle and cant afford one without a full time job."

What don't you like about working at Stop & Shop?

"the constant hoops to do anything are frustrating...some things we do I don't agree with and or just cause extra unnecessary steps. Boss is constantly checking up on me as if I'm not qualified to do my job. Also when I am walking around, Or sitting and waiting (part of my job) I constantly am being asked why am I doing what I am doing I'm not a 3 year old and would like to be treated like I'm a competent adult."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"communicate with employees better. Know who I'm hiring and what schedules for so to not have understaffed days and or schedule mix ups...actually take the time to evaluate employees instead of trusting rumors from other workers. its frustrating when some employees cant get work done because they are picking up other peoples slack."
