What makes Natural Grocers a great place to
work?
Just like its dedication to its customers and
community, Natural Grocers has a 61 year history of caring for
employees.
As part of the company's five founding principles, Natural
Grocers supports all employees by offering:
- Competitive pay, including the exclusive Natural Grocers
Vitamin Bucks program, which provides employees an extra
$1 per hour worked of in-store
spending money.
- Birthday bonuses equal to 1 day's pay, which originated from
founder Margaret Isely's tradition
of celebrating the birthdays of all employees by preparing lunch
for them. Once the company became larger, her children, the current
executives of the company, implemented the policy of providing each
employee with a full day's pay on their birthday to say "thank you
for working with us."
- Company-wide store discounts and credits of up to 30% on all
Natural Grocers products, which provides employees substantial
savings on high quality groceries and supplements and helps them
retain more of the dollars they earn.
- Natural Grocers also offers comprehensive benefits packages to
the over 80% of its employees who are full time, including medical,
dental and vision insurance; flexible spending and health savings
accounts; short- and long-term disability and life insurance; a
401K savings plan; generous paid time off; and extensive free
nutrition education programs.
"Commitment to our employees has always been a top priority --
it is one of the founding principles on which we base our business
practices," said Kemper Isely,
Natural Grocers' co-president. "We cannot properly serve our
customers without our talented staff and nutrition experts. The
crew we're putting in place in South
Jordan will be the experts in their field and will bring a
great deal of knowledge and value to the Natural Grocers family and
the local community."
Natural Grocers will provide the community with fresh produce
that is 100% USDA Certified Organic, as well as other healthy,
affordable, organic and natural products. The store will feature a
mix of national brands and a selection of locally produced products
in a small, neighborhood market environment. The store will also
feature a Nutritional Health Coach and offer free nutrition
education classes to the public.
