Albertsons Companies reviews

The way management is promoted. Ineffective/non-existent evaluation system which causes under-qualified people promoted more often than not. Training is basically non-existent. Computer training is used, but does not teach employees how to do their jobs and neither does management. Upkeep of retail stores is a huge problem. Store Directors are just barely encouraged to fix problems as they arise rather than undergo preventative maintenance because of effects on their bonuses. Mismanagement abounds.

The downsides are that the company is unable to compete with Wal Mart in pricing on many items. However, they can be cheaper on some items. There are also many wasteful practices of the company as well, such as throwing away products that are still edible/usable instead of donating to local foodbanks. More should be done by the company to limit its waste and shrink.
