Piggly Wiggly Reviews

1. CHEAP! I was given a piece of paper with my name on it to designate my work area because they "stopped giving out" plastic placards. You need to order office supplies? Here's some old used garbage that doesn't work. Need some folders? Well, management doesn't like providing supplies so do you REALLY need them or can you somehow manage without? (Hint: you really need them because why else would you have asked) 2. Benefits are an absolute joke. You are given ONE sick day per year. One week's vacation after one year (reasonable), two weeks after two years (okay sure), and then three weeks after TEN YEARS. I worked with a person who was there for decades and decades and they still were only given one sick day per year. Medical, dental, and vision was subpar. The company has a bizarre approach to 401k contributions as well. They do not match. It depends on if they have a "good year," which doesn't need to be justified or proven to their employees. Just take their word for it, they never have a good year. 3. Upper management is too controlling. You are watched and observed like a hawk, unless you're a pet favorite. 4. THE MUSIC! Piggly Wiggly Midwest plays music in their corporate office for some reason I was never able to understand. Sounds innocent enough until they stick to one station and it plays the same thing over and over and over and over all day. It's rather distracting. For me, it was the country station! That's my own personal dislike but I heard complaints from other workers as well. Just turn the thing off and let us do our work in silence. 5. If you're hourly you will be expected to punch-in and you better be EXACT and PRECISE even though there is often a line of people waiting to punch-in and out that can take a couple minutes and your pay WILL reflect that. Good luck being the first one every single time, you robot. 6. There is no office camaraderie. I never once felt like a team member that contributed to something valuable. Do your work and go home. That's their culture.

Not great pay. Not great benefits. Not good hours, and not a lot of chance to move up through the ranks unless you work your tail off.
