'via Blog this'Produce Manager (Former Employee), Normal, IL – April 16, 2012
Cons: pay, hours, benefits
This place pays no holidays, no concern for associates or traditional family values. Has a pay scale that they call chinese overtime for managers, the more you work over 40 hrs the less you are paid per hour.One of the worse places that I have ever worked.

Black Sheep in the Retail Business
Grocery Specialist (Former Employee), Jacksonville, FL – April 13, 2012
Pros: hours
Cons: pay, cheat you out of benefits, no opportunity for advancement, and set up for failure
Completely over worked and under paid if your trying to get anywhere in life excepts a dead end. Everyone that worked there more worried about how to get around the work and leave for some one else to do then actually earn there money. The Fresh Market is the reason why i don't have a high school diploma let alone a ged. When i tried to go bad to school – more...
Beautiful store to find quality and unusual food items
Customer Service, Bakery (Current Employee), Cornelius, NC – April 12, 2012
Pros: discounts on products, varied schedule each week, i am respected by management and customers.
Cons: working on holidays
I have a flexible schedule so my work varies but always includes packaging or preparing products to sell. Every moment a customer approaches I offer a sample or ask if they need help. The bakery has a bakery manager and there are also store managers and assistants. Various staff in the bakery decorate or bake products. The most difficult part of the – more...
Great, lively place to work at.
ASSITANT FRONT END MANAGER/ Deli Associate (Former Employee), Brookfield, WI – April 9, 2012
A great company to obtain experience in the grocery and customer service industry, that provides multiple opportunities for advancement.
Good Job
Asst. Grocery Manager (Former Employee), Bell Towers Plaza – April 2, 2012
It was a great place to work, it was a lot slower than Walmart but was a good change of pace. Management was for the most part good the first Store Mgr. was not so nice but I got along with every other mgr. just fine including the new Store Mgr. Co-workers were great a real pleasant atmosphere. I really didn't have to many hard parts of the job because – more...
the fresh market is not a good place to work or to shop they descriminate people.
front end cashier (Former Employee), Lake Forest, IL – March 18, 2012
Pros: you work but not elegible for a break, only lunch in 8 hour shift.
Cons: no breaks .
the fresh market is not agood place for nothing becouse they treat their employees like slaves and they think they are all that the supervisors thinks and they want every body to think that they own the store themselfs but the way they treat there employees are really bad.and if you do some thing wrong and they see you they yield at you in front of – more...
Over worked you and refused to pay any overtime
Front End Manager/ Scanning Coordinator (Former Employee), Tampa, FL – March 15, 2012
Pros: i liked most of the people who i worked with.
Cons: men who did the same job as a woman, were always paid a higher salary.
This was a workplace that was dominated by men who like to over assert their authority. I was physically pushed by a male assistant manager and I was talked to by human resources and he was promoted to the corporate office.
Very bad atmosphere .
Baker (Former Employee), Westport CT – March 6, 2012
Pros: the hot lunches there are great, and its a beautiful store .
Cons: very deceiving management team .
The Fresh Market wasn't one of my favourite jobs, as a matter of fact I left because I am a very positive person and that store is very negative . They are never satisfied . They have a high turnover rate for employees, many people come in and actually leave on the first day ! Not a great a place if your serious about working .
Classy grocery store.
Cashier (Former Employee), Greenville, SC – March 1, 2012
The Fresh Market is not your average store. It's very classy. They even play classical music as you shop! Everything is kept very neat and clean. It felt like home because most of the employees I've known for years! Great place to work with great people!
Demands your entire life revolve around them
Asst. Mgr. of Store Operations (Former Employee), Bloomington/Peoria, IL. – February 29, 2012
Pros: very nice customers
Cons: very erratic work scheduling, upper tier management non supportive.
73-81 hrs, scheduled weekly. District Mgr. was a "Vince Lombardi" type of manager. "Bi-Polar" personality.
Benefits (medical) were above average. A lot of "split-shift" schedule.
Mgmt. (Dist. Mgr.) did not want you to take lunch or dinner break(s).

GM/Senior Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee), Louisville – February 28, 2012
Pros: n/a
Cons: n/a
this company is full of great managers and employees but they are held back by upper management. this was the best experience Ive ever had in the beginning but now I know what this company is all about and i'm so happy that i will never be apart of it again.
Being a cashier at the fresh market is ok because u meet new people
Cashier (Current Employee), Augusta,GA – February 27, 2012
The Fresh Market is good place to work. There are very nice customer that comes to The Fresh Market. As a employee you will gain some weight cuz the food is great and we always have samples. The manager are nice the co workers are cool people.
Good place to work and get experience in the grocery industry
deli clerk (Current Employee), atlanta, ga – February 22, 2012
Pros: laid back environment
Cons: movement within the company is limited
The managers are nice and each department has their own comradery. The customers are who don't make the job as enjoyable.
Fun and pleasant place to work
Deli Attendant (Former Employee), Dunwoody, Georgia – November 18, 2011
Pros: discounts on all food items
Cons: n/a
An enjoyable and pleasant company that focused on customer and employee satisfaction. The working atmosphere was calm and pleasant, at time fast pace, but constantly stead.
This job was a great place to be, the co workers were nice and I had a very understanding boss. This is a great company to work for.
Deli Associate (Former Employee), wilmette IL – November 11, 2011
Working at the fresh market was a great start for me in learning how business works and team work because this place truly has it. Yes every job has there moments but I never minded working at the fresh market because my experience with co-workers and management were great.
the employees are nice but the management are just completley clueless and dont care
baker (Former Employee), virginia – September 15, 2011
Pros: nice co workers
Cons: everything else
by far the worst job i have had in my 15 years of working. Management was just clueless. if you had a problem don't go to them because nothing will happen. Nothing. Pay was horrible. Minorities Cannot move up. The super qualified ones who worked their butts off are passed up for advancement by unqualified non- minorities people. ie. that's exactly what – more...
Arn1 – February 24, 2012
Might I just say, this is completely nonfactual in terms of relevance to the company. At my store, in an extremely affluent community, minorities are the majority and do EXTREMELY well. Everyone does pretty well though. Yes, there are good days and bad days but the management are always willing to work with customers and employees to make the store better. Also, the managers truly believe their job is to make their employees do well and look good, not themselves. sh Market Employer Reviews
Fun unique place
Asst Front End Manager (Current Employee), Richmond, VA – June 29, 2012
Pros: really fun people, close environment, great benefits
Cons: only closed on four days of the year
I love working here! The customer base is great, we're all foodies at heart. Advancement is pretty good, I went from cashier to asst front end in eight months.
It was a very poor discouraging experience working at Fresh Market.
Grocery and Dairy Team Member (Current Employee), Horsham, PA – June 29, 2012
Pros: up scale looking appearence and excellent sushi dept.. that's about it.
Cons: all was mentioned in my review.
Fresh Market is a low paying poorly managed company with a revolving employee and management door that discourages the employee in every way possible. Co workers come and go very quickly due to the lack of supervisorial support.
Very stressful work environment.
Chef/Cook, Assistant to Deli. Manager (Former Employee), Vero Beach, FL – June 26, 2012
Pros: they provided a paycheck and i met some new friends there.
Cons: see above review.
TFM provides a hostile work envoronment and discriminates against certain individuals at times. Management lends little to no support to co-workers, not a pleasant work experience.
– June 30, 2012
Actually its like working with a barrel of monkeys! If dumb could get dumber You would have TFM
Interesting product and great customer service, poor systems
Asst Store Manager (Current Employee), Greensboro, NC – June 18, 2012
Pros: 20% discount
The Fresh Market took the company public 18 months ago. They are now adding stores at an alarming rate. So much so that store openings are very chaotic and training of permanent staff is very poor, culminating in problems maintaining customers and revenue. They are scheduled to expand into California very shortly and I seriously question if they can – more...
Eye Opener
Shopper (Former Employee), Savannah, Ga – June 7, 2012
I loved the Fresh Market until a very special employee was fired based on an irrational and emotional claim that later the employee who made the claim regretted and openly said she never meant for the employee to get fired. Instead of acknowledging the employee that got fired had worked with the company for 9 years and loved the company and would go – more...
Friendly store environment but bad management style
Assistant Deli Manager (Current Employee), Center Valley, PA – June 6, 2012
Friendly store environment. However, the store is very understaffed. The lines of communication are nonexistent. I learned and continue to learn a great deal about people, how they work and different ways to manage.
Very enjoyable work
Bakery Clerk (Current Employee), Fort Wayne, IN – June 1, 2012
The staff are all down to earth, fun, caring and make one proud to be part of the team. Store Managers are attentive and upbeat. Staff is encouraged to be creative and involve the customer in experiencing our extensive, imported and unusual product lines.
The Fresh Market is a special place to work. It raises the bar for retail grocery in my area.

Medium paced enjoyable
Gift Center Specialist, (Current Employee), Marietta, GA – May 31, 2012
Pros: employee discoulnts, 401k, and medical and dental benefits.
Cons: no holiday pay or days off.
This company is BIG on customer delight. This is their main focus. The best part of the daily is seeing your special customers come in. Over time I have built a strong customer base and they make you feel apart of their family and community. This is my greatest reward.
Great Surroundings
Management (Current Employee), Jackson, MS – May 26, 2012
Pros: company is rapidly expanding, promotions, great locations.
Cons: the stores have limited limited grocery items
A very non-typical grocery store. Quaint smaller stores that open your eyes to the how a store should be. Relaxing "market style" environment with customer service as the main goal....
Terrible place to work at
Assistant Front End Manager (Current Employee), Aventura, FL – May 23, 2012
Pros: 20 percent discount
Cons: terrible management, terrible human resources, lack of professional environment, no training, lots of work to do and not enough workers
I worked for the fresh market for 5 months, that turned out to be the worst months of my life. I was an assistant front end manager who wasn't constantly harrassed by employees and managers alike. I was given millions of tasks to do to help the higher up managers and I never got a thank you, let alone acknowledgement. Their training program consists – more...
Monotomous work and full of drama
Packager/case, cashier (Former Employee), Roanoke, VA – May 21, 2012
Pros: easy work
Cons: work drama, boring
I worked in the bakery and it was the same work everyday. Everyone at fresh market was all about everyone elses business so it was drama all the time.
bad place to work
Cashier (Former Employee), Louisville, KY – May 3, 2012
The Fresh Market is a horrible place to work. I got fired over my register was off by $10 and was falsely accused of taking the money by a front end supervisor. They don't allow for any leeway with cash registers being over or under, as you get written up and fired for it being over and under when its a mistake like if you forget togive some one their – more...
Fun, laid-back workplace with losts of college students as employees
Office Administrator (Current Employee), Greenville, NC – April 24, 2012
The Fresh Market is a fun and challenging work place. Management is the best I've had since I've been in the work force.
