Pros

The people are very friendly, everyone in all departments make you feel at home, and when I was new and first introduced, everyone eventually asked me how I was doing and if I like working there and are always helpful and willing to help me if I dont know where items go or can be found. Everyone is just extremely nice.

Cons

I work as a Clerk so I'm always doing something, our main focus at our store is always having to clear that lot so since its Summer it gets really hot and super busy so we're always either clearing the lot or helping with bagging but my manager and supervisor always allow us to go get water when we get too hot and give us a break from clearing the lot so we help bag until we're okay to clear the lot again and we also do Returns, take damaged items back to their departments, price checks, go get items customers forgot they wanted, we do carry-outs, especially for the elderly or if anyone uses one of our scooters we must go with them to bring them back, and at my store if you're staying after 8pm then you get chores (bathrooms, trash, break room, plugging in the scooters/kid carts with the tv's in them. BUT it's not bad, I mean, It is our job after all, it's just a bit more difficult in the summer when it's hot out and the store gets super busy and you have to decide whether to bring in carts or help bag the groceries but most of the time if there's 3 of us then 2 will be sent and 1 will stay and bag but that's it, there's not really any cons to working here.

Pros

My time at Albertsons was very beneficial. I was started off as a bagger and worked my way up to a SSPC (Service Supervisor and Personnel Coordinator) within about three to four months of working there. It was clear from that experience that if you posses the skills and abilities to move up in the company, they are more than willing to provide you with career advancements.

Cons

The store I worked at payed weekly which was nice but also allowed the managers of departments to only make weekly schedules rather than bi-weekly. This was a large source of conflict between managers and other employees. Also, I was an orientation facilitator and realized that the training materials you are providing for orientation are rather outdated. While the information is still relevant, the majority of the videos are clearly from the 90's and makes new employees as well as the orientation facilitators cringe. Finally, for the job that I possessed and the information and responsibility that was put upon me, I simply should have been paid more than $10.20 an hour. It should be company policy to pay individuals with access to all of the employee information and access to all of the money in the store more than the average individual. I always felt underpaid for the position that I was in.

Pros

Flexible scheduling, but you get more hours based on availability. Good pay scale and raise amounts. Understanding managers and good training potential.

Cons

High turnover in grocery leading to managers and team leads wearing multiple hats. Multiple changes of policy not always communicated within the company.
