SUPERVALU is a GREAT place to work!

Business systems analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong management team, solid leadership, empoyee feedback solicited on a regular basis, feel like part of team, leaders are accountable, training and career development efforts are top notch, not afraid to invest in their people, salaries are very fair. Even though their stock has plummeted, so have many other companies in the Grocery industry. I think SUPERVALU will continue to be in the top 3, good or bad economy.

Cons

A large company can come with beauracy, decision making processes can be slow at times. They are perhaps a little too focused on the number of projects put through the pipeline, rather than on the quality and ROI of those projects. With Paul Singer as CIO this will most likely change for the better though.

Business Outlook

Pros

steady employment(but only if the store your working at isn't closing), Part time job for insurance or extra pay

Cons

Way too top heavy in corporate, No labor spent in stores, Adds not geared for individual markets, too many projects made without enough thought (sunflower markets, building stores and closing them a few years later(this is happening often, some as little as four years new) , decisions being made by too many people with no work experience in specific department or even store in general, this company wants only "yes" men and "yes" women in upper management spots leading an erosion of how the stores are run. If you need full time work, forget about it.
