Cost is paramount

Business Outlook

Pros

Good communication from management that is generally much more open than most companies, Generally a good work / life balance though this can vary greatly depending on your specific role and business group.

Cons

Performance management is very poor. Goals and expectations are not really set for the next year. The year begins in March, its now Oct and our group is just considering goal setting now..6 months into the year. Lots of cost pressures and outsourcing going on..both out of country and consolidation at EP. SVU has been very late to the outsourcing game. Reward for performace is very low. U meet expectations - get a 3% raise. U slog the whole year and get an exceeds expectations with substantial more effort - get a 4% raise! Big deal!

Supermarket company that does a whole lot more.

Business systems analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

Large complex company with plenty to learn. Never bored. They focus on both grocery stores and distribution along with the reselling of grocery services such as store design, IT services, accounting, etc. They are one of the largest grocers in the US giving them significant resources for investment in systems and business initiatives. They have grown significantly through acquisitions which always keep the staff busy and leads to a dynamic and active environment.

Cons

Like many companies, SVU is outsourcing to India for IT and business services. This poses significant challenges to both on and offshore resources to successfully execute on projects. Many off hour meetings, long days, etc. This is no different than many other IT shops. Additionally, the company is headquartered in MN and as expected most of the hiring is done there. The senior managers, decisions makers, and most initiatives are all located at the MN locations. Resources at other locations, while treated well and fairly, are likely at a disadvantage for career advancement unless they are willing to move.
