Pros

Good benefits in this company.

Cons

Chaotic - a conglomeration of many grocery acquisitions during the late 20th century with very little effort to standardize policies and infrastructure. As such, different rules apply in similar situations and it is up to the employee to figure things out. The SUPERVALU acquisition of Albertsons could have been beneficial for all, however SUPERVALU never forced the standardizaiton required for efficiency. The result is constant knee-jerk change and an inefficient and expensive operation, ultimately costing the customers at check-out, and long-term employess their jobs.

Pros

The company has great people and potential to be a great company. In my time the company has become much more inclusive, and leadership is improving.

Cons

We have great people, but spotty leadership, strong in some areas weak in others. Company is a collection of fiefdom's and legacy companies, not enough leadership effort to forge a One Company mindset.

Pros

The people who actually make the business run are great. The pay was good. Benefits good.

Cons

You must be on mgmts good side to get anywhere in this company. A brown noser would have it great here. Management speaks lies to you and about you. No real support from management. Never received a review in the 2 years I worked there, although I got constant pay raises every 6 months. You get blamed for what others do wrong just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This company only tolerates elderly people unless in management. Age discrimination seems rampant.
