Pros

Customers are the good and bad thing about working at Albertsons, they can make you day or just as easily ruin it.

Cons

Management is arrogant and are always right and always ready to recognise your mistakes. The management uses fear and intimedation to communicate to subordinates;promotions do not exist within the company unless your on the 1999 contract. Management has favoritism towards other management and some employees, no equal treatment for anyone here.

Pros

Good company and well managed. The pay is consummate with other companies. The management of the stores is top notch as they have been downsizing for years and consolidating their talent for years. If you are not looking for a long term career they could be a good fit.

Cons

Constantly closing or selling stores. No new stores or remodels for years. Little job security because of the declining store count.and downsizing. Traing is a thing of the past. Stores in Florida are hanging on by a thread and are probably all for sale.

Pros

After leaving McDonald's, working as a cashier at Albertsons seems like the best job in the world. Whether it is or isn't is relative, but I absolutely love it. The other employees are very kind and helpful, and the customers are friendly (unlike the 78% of McDonald's customers who take it upon themselves to make your day miserable). Downtime is the best, a good time to get to know your colleagues and the latest news around the store. They pay their cashiers at a generous starting rate of $8.50/hr, though wages will obviously differ depending on what district you work for. The managers are almost overqualified for their positions and are willing to adjust your schedule, should there be any mistakes, to make it easier for you to have both a personal and professional life.

Cons

Product codes for produce are confusing and I find it hard to tell what kind of potatoes customers purchase. Also, customers often don't read the fine print on the coupon and therefore get confused as to how many of an item you have to buy to get a free one.
