What makes Natural Grocers a great place to work?
Just like its dedication to its customers and community, Natural
Grocers has a 62-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 one-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 percent 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 percent 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.
Natural Grocers offers 100-percent organic produce, meat
humanely raised without antibiotics, hormones or other growth
promotors, 100-percent free-range eggs, 100-percent pasture-based
dairy, GMO-free prepackaged bulk products, groceries that don't
contain any artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives
and more.
