Pros

It takes a lot to be fired/let go from a job here (mostly because the turnover is so high).

Cons

- Overworked and underpaid. - Company gives nominal annual merit raises (1-3%) even for associates they say do high-level work. - When an associate leaves the company, they will divide the work among other associates in lieu of posting a job vacancy. This is becoming more common since the failed merger with Albertsons. - They are resistant to raises when asked, even if you can demonstrate your value add. - As of 2025, they are forcing a mandatory 4-day in office schedule.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
