Culture
What’s the best place we’ve ever built? The place where we work. Here, you can be yourself and also be part of something much bigger.
Our Values
We live by our values. We think of them as instructions that guide our actions each day. Our values keep us all working toward the same goals, so we can build strong teams and deliver the service our customers count on from us.
This incredible company provides its associates with the resources and support they need to develop their skills. As someone who began their career in the aisles as a part-time cashier 38 years ago, I can personally testify to that. Our people can truly go anywhere they want to go, and we as leaders strive to help them get there!
— Crystal Hanlon, former cashier, current SVP & Culture Officer
We know we are a stronger company when we have associates from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives that can help lead us into the future. Whether we are engaging our associates, customers, suppliers or community partners, we are committed to a diverse and inclusive work environment.
— Derek Bottoms, Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President, Associate Relations
DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION
We strive to ensure that our company culture maintains a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment so that we can attract and retain the best employees, amplify their unique experiences and ideas, and strengthen the communities where we operate. Our DEI program seeks continual improvement through strategic action, review of practices and reporting of our initiatives. These actions support our business objectives by promoting associate satisfaction and retention, community partnerships and innovation across our value chain. Guided by our Core Value of Respect for All People, we also seek to foster equitable pay and promotion opportunities within our Company.
