What is the hiring process like at Tractor Supply?

The interview process was professional, intuitive, friendly, fast. Everybody was very professional.

I have not had or seen any cons.

Company as a whole was great. They provide for their team. Part time workers can get benefits. Great place to get experience. Most of the time you have great country living people and farmers that are down to earth as customers. The chickens were fun take care of. Get to see all different kinds of animals come in the store. Dogs, cats, goats, pigs, and any animal that can fit through the doors can come in.

It's like a family. As in you know the store manager will have favorites. Someone who work there 6 years gets paid less than someone who has work there for 3 years. Pay is not very good. Lots of he said she said stuff going on. The manager and some of the other higher ups listen to gossip and act out on it. The district manager comes in amd moves everything. People who need to be fired don't. And the people who dedicated to the job get pushed out. Not very big chance to climb the ladder. Will hire out before hiring in the store for promotion. Store manager will not take breaks but be on there cell phone and on Facebook or other social platforms on the floor and then turn around with no cellphone on the floors. Men get paid more than women. At least at my old store they did. The management team will talk about you and make fun of you behind your back and then be a friend to your face. Lots of harassment.

Great training store. I was impressed by the competencies of all the employees. The store ran smoothly and customers were taken care of and the store was always busy

The company opened a new store without staffing anyone from the company as part of the management team. Tractor Supplys vision wasn't carried out. DM was not helpful and there was zero follow through for the employees trying to run the business. No support, no direction, very unpleasant experience.

Overtime, flexible schedule, great pay

Most the time upper management is more concerned about budget and pushing numbers than they are of staff. I would know because I was there. It can turn into a cult like mentality of "we are family" when in reality everyone is talking absolute trash about everybody else. District and regional managers will praise in public while in private absolutely demolishing a subject over the simplest "your floors aren't as clean as this other stores" most upper management is out of touch with their employees and claims to understand dilemmas while giving no other advice than "hire more people" but provides no higher budget to do so. They constantly preach a work life budget but blame managers for failures of stores when they take a one week vacation when they're allowed two. District managers will find any way to blame managers of their stores for lack of support while not providing any support or offering any way to fix the situation, just a "youre the manager figure it out" had a DM blame me personally when an employee found a better job and said it was all my fault and that i was the cause of the downfall of the company. They also do not care about their live animals and continually save face by saying just throw the dead chicks in the trash but make sure the public is not aware. Seen multiple cover ups. Including one where a reciever cut off the leg of a duck and then let another employee take the fall because the reciever was a "good ol boy" and deserved a second chance gaining him a promotion while putting the other employee on a black list. They are also full of flat earthers which should tell you a lot. They got to a yearly meeting in Nashville where they pat eachother on the back and cheat on their spouses but act pompous saying how great they are while playing inflatable games as their stores fall apart and ask for support but are told, "don't worry more MPOS are coming." They promote bad behavior by allowing people to abuse the tardiness system. Example being of a team lead who clearly stole on camera but then claimed he was an alcoholic and we paid him 3 months leave. They are highly misogynistic and the only people of color that are hired are those they feel forced to because their metrics tell them they're not meeting diversity credentials. If all you care about is money and being part time this is a great place to work, but if you want to move up beware because it is a dark and dangerous place mentally, physically, and emotionally.
