COMPANY CULTURE & BENEFITS
Just like its dedication to its customers and community, Natural Grocers has cared for its good4u Crew since its founding in 1955. The company now employs more than 4,000 Crew members at 168 stores, in 21 states. As part of its Five Founding Principles, Natural Grocers supports employees by offering:
- Competitive pay, plus the exclusive Natural Grocers Vitamin Bucks program, which provides Crew members an extra $1 per hour worked as in-store credit.
- Birthday bonus pay equal to one day's wages, which originated from founder Margaret Isely's tradition of celebrating the birthdays of all employees by preparing lunch for them. When the company grew, her children—now executives—continued the celebration by granting each employee a full day's pay on their birthday as a thank-you.
- Store discounts and credits of up to 30 percent on Natural Grocers products, helping employees save on high-quality groceries and supplements.
- Comprehensive benefits for full-time employees, including medical, dental and vision insurance; flexible spending and health savings accounts; short- and long-term disability and life insurance; a 401(k) savings plan; generous paid time off; and extensive free nutrition education programs.
- Premium-quality organic and natural products at Always Affordable prices, including 100% certified organic produce, 100 percent free-range eggs and pasture-raised dairy, 100% non-GMO prepackaged bulk goods and humanely sourced and sustainably raised meats. Natural Grocers strives to avoid carrying products made with highly processed or problematic ingredients, including artificial and synthetic chemicals and additives.
