Pros

I worked the graveyard shift stocking freight and the team was staffed well.

Cons

I first worked for them back in 2011, but I had to take time off due to my grandmother ending up in the hospital. (I helped take care of her while my grandfather worked) I was let go due to having too many days off, but was told I was rehirable in six months. I ended up getting another job a few months later. I recently was laid off from them, and decided to try winco again. I got a call from a different Winco then that one I worked at, and got the interview, drug test and was hired, and went though orientation and even my first night of stocking. The next morning I was brought upstairs to the office and was told that there was a mistake from corporate and that I was not rehirable and that I would have to be let go. I explained the situation and that I was told I was rehirable by the manager at the Winco I worked at back in '11 but they said due to new management at that store they are unable to take my claim and only that of corporate.

Pros

Great co workers, upbeat, fast paced (makes the time fly by), excellent pay, good work/life balance and the employee insurance package is outstanding

Cons

The point system is notoriously strict. You won’t start at 40 hours per week - hours may vary. Breaks are only ten minutes, barely enough time for a bathroom break

Pros

There is no pros to working here.

Cons

They don't account for any experience whatsoever. If you have 10 plus years in the same field they still screw you with base pay. Don't waste your time go to Walmart or smiths.
