SAVEMART STORE MGMT, CALIFORNIA - UNFAIR TREATMENT AND FAVORTISM OF EMPLOYEES
MANAGEMENT UNFAIRLY SINGLES OUT EMPLOYEES THEY DO NOT CARE FOR ON A PERSONAL BASIS. START OFF AS A BAGGER AND IF YOUR ONE OF THE FEW LUCKY EMPLOYEES YOU'LL MAKE IT T0O A CASHIER POSITION, UNLESS THEY RUN YOU OFF FIRST. EARN YOUR RIGHT TO TAKE THE "BIG" PRODUCE CODE TEST TO QUALIFY FOR CHECKER POSITION AND HOPE YOUR NOT ON THE BLACKBALL LIST.
INSIST THAT YOUR TEST BE "GRADED" IN FRONT OF YOU OR TAKE THE CHANCE THAT YOU WILL FAIL REGARDLESS OF YOUR SCORE. KERMAN, CA STORE HAS AN UN-FAIR PRACTICE OF BEING SELECTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO DECIDEING WHO WILL PASS AND WHO WILL NOT. THE PROOF IS IN MY HANDS.
ONE TEST TAKER WAS GRADED AND GIVEN A PASSING SCORE OF ONLY MISSING THREE CODES.....LATER, WHEN UNAWARE OF THE DECIEVEING GRADEING POLICY, THE TEST FALLS INTO THE HANDS OF ANOTHER AND RE-GRADED, THE TEST TAKER WAS FOUND TO HAVE MISSED 10 CODES WHICH IS DETERMINED TO BE A FAILING SCORE..... HMMMMMM......SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
APPARENTLY THE TESTS ORIGINAL GRADER...... SEEMS TO HAVE FORGOTTEN HER CODES? I THINK NOT! SHE JUST SO HAPPENED TO HAVE NO PERSONAL GRUDGE AGAINST THE TEST TAKER. A VERY YOUNG AND IMPRESSIONABLE YOUNG MAN.... WHAT A SCAM THAT MAKES THE WHOLE PROCEEDURE OF EARNING YOUR RIGHT TO BE PROMOTED, DONT YOU THINK?
DONT WORK YOURSELF TOO HARD FOR THIS STORE .....YOU WONT BE APPRECIATED....THAT I GUARANTEE!!!!

Iv worked for save mart for 8 years in a store the same size as Gwyns and i can say that i was never tereated unfaily iv taken that produce test at my store and the test is to make sure you know your codes before the store sends u to another store to be trained as a checker.
If u fail the test managment can still send u to training if they see fit. If u fail at checker taining managment can still insist that u become a checker,if your willing to work u can move up faily quicely in this company, if u are not then u arent going anywhere,i faild the first time i took the test and my store manager said that i had 3 trys. this is information u need to know if u are going to become a checker.
I have in my time at the store known people who got fired for various reasons. The numer one being late or a noshow, or employee theft.Save Mart has always been fair with me and iv never seen anyone mistreated by management and considering how many times iv been called to the office and written up thats saying alot.
My store is union and so to get promoted we go by senority.whos worked their the longest gets the oppertunity to move up first.I was a bagger for 4 years befor i became a checker,i still think i was treated faily,had i wanted to become a checker sooner all i had to do was put a bid in at another store,but i didnt want to so i stayed in coalinga.
I think Save Mart is a great place to work whit lots of oppertunities for its employess,if your willing to work and want it all u have to do is put a bid in and interview for a position(u dont interview for checker positions). how hard is that.People who dont work dont move up and i think thats true with any company
p.s. my store manager used to be the groceri manager at Gwyns store!!

I work @#36. i see people come and go, it is not because of favortism. it is because of the lack of work ethic they posess.
I have heard from many of my co-workers that me and a few others are the favorites. non-sense. if people would just grow up, stop complaining and do there work they would have nothing to worry about.
I also realize that the reason most of the lazy people that keep there job is because of the union (aka)lazy people security. i also see that the people who do complain about favortism are the pro-union/LAZY people.
For the 2 years i have worked there i have not had to worry about losing my job. keep your nose in the dirt and do your job.
