Pros

Good starter job, no specific skills required. Comparable wages starting out.

Cons

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.

Pros

The best reason to work for Albertson's is because it is a low stress place of employment and pays generally well. The company has a very flexible retirement plan that you can direct if you are so inclined and know what you are doing.

Cons

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.
