Price Chopper looks at differences as opportunities for growth and is committed to providing associates with a challenging, culturally diverse, friendly, participative and rewarding environment. To deliver on that commitment, we provide diversity training along with many other programs that foster an inclusive work environment. We are now forming Affinity Groups that will bring individuals from like-backgrounds together to recommend even more ideas on how we can "grow" together.
For Different Folks
We think that if everyone thought, felt and looked the same, the world would be a boring place. What makes environments rich and interesting is that they are made up of unique individuals with their own personalities, perspectives, values, traditions, and dreams. So rather than look at differences as a challenge, we honestly look at them as a competitive advantage. If we didn't hire to ensure that our company population mirrored the populations in the areas we serve, we would inevitably miss out on something that could make us better, stronger and more able to provide for our customers.
Our commitment to giving every opinion a voice and every person an opportunity to succeed began with our founding leaders, Ben and Bill Golub. These actions continue to stand the test of time and are embedded in our corporate culture. It differentiates us from other employers in our marketing areas.
We welcome your differences, opinions, traditions, values, perspectives and dreams. We challenge you to teach us something that we don't know, to tell us something that we haven't heard and to give something of yourself to our already rich culture.
