In interviews with Business Insider, nine current and former corporate Whole Foods employees described the lack of paid leave for new mothers in particular as alarming. "I can't tell you how many crying mothers I spoke to who were completely shocked by the benefits," this person said. "The maternity policy was not what they were expecting and they were very upset about how Whole Foods would support them."
"Our comprehensive benefits program includes an industry-leading starting minimum hourly wage of at least $15, a rich Team Member discount, paid time off for both full-time and part-time Team Members, and a company-funded health immersion program."One former Whole Foods employee involved in recruiting said the lack of paid maternity leave was a common reason why corporate candidates rejected offers, and that it weakened the company's competitiveness.
