Pros

Variable schedule, it can be nice to have days off mid-week as there are very few crowds when you go out during the week. Tops out at a very respectable wage considering what your job is all day.

Cons

The scheduling can conversely be terrible as you rarely get days off in a row. The wage that you top out at is not something that you can ever live a satisfying life on; you almost definately need another provider in the household in order to go beyond making ends meet. I have heard that other stores are better, but the amount of backstabbing and political games that go on are simply astounding. This includes not only associates but management up the highest level within the store as well. Likewise, the management (at the Monroe location at least) seems to care only slightly about the associates on a personal level. They seem to view workers merely as bodies that can and should be replaced with cheaper models whenever possible.

Pros

it is a good paying job for not having an education. you can be promoted within if you get to know the right people.

Cons

you're at the mercy of management regarding hours worked. hard to ask for any time off without getting penalized. even for those of us who always show up as scheduled and come in or stay when needed.

Pros

I worked as a receiver in an Albertson's 1980-2010. Starting out we had very good health care insurance covered 90%. I was trained for my position on the job with no college needed. They did have 401K program with employer participating in contributions.

Cons

Starting pay was low. Raises were slow coming and very low increases (0.10-0.20cent). Fulltime but often had 35 hours only. Lots of stress from mgrs to cover their backsides. Upon death of Joe Albertson, wife sold controlling interest to corporate raiders. Company conditions deteriated at this point.
