Pros

The best reason to work for Albertson's is because it is a low stress place of employment and pays generally well. The company has a very flexible retirement plan that you can direct if you are so inclined and know what you are doing.

Cons

The downsides are that the company is unable to compete with Wal Mart in pricing on many items. However, they can be cheaper on some items. There are also many wasteful practices of the company as well, such as throwing away products that are still edible/usable instead of donating to local foodbanks. More should be done by the company to limit its waste and shrink.

Pros

Every can have a flexible schedule. It is an easy environment to work in. Even during the crazy rush hour time of the day its not too bad. High school students and older people would have no problem working here for a part time position. You don't need a lot of training to get the job done right. There are always people that you can talk to if its slow or if you need some help. Never left out to do something you don't want to do. Lots of busy work so that you don't get too bored at work.

Cons

There was very low pay for young workers starting at this company. It was impossible to work full time. Managers would schedule workers for 39 hours so that they wouldn't get overtime and not be able to receive benefits in the future. Very little possibility for advancement inside the company. You might be able to more a slightly higher position over time but the pay would be a very minimal increase. For the low end positions, Albertsons will hire many people and give them little hours to see who works the best and slowly fire the others for no reason.

Pros

Albertson's is a safe location to open and close because the grocery store is already open. Socially, you can see everyone because they all grocery shop.

Cons

The downside of working at Albertsons is the set schedule for the pharmacist. I would like to adjust my time off according to my needs.
