Pros
Workforce has high seniority and is heavily invested in the company's success
Cons
The Albertsons management is truly awful. They focus on product distribution more than sales - the stores suffer from poor management & awkward direction from the corporate structure, an affliction shared by most of the supply chain. Decisions are made from the ivory tower without input from the parties involved - for example, product is moved to and from the DC without interest or understanding on even the basic concepts of the warehouses (is there capacity? Is it price-effective?). Decisions are made without giving enough advanced warning to affected parties. Decisions are jerky and uncoordinated, causing incredibly excessive costs and failures on a regular basis. Decisions are made without regard to people, and that goes from the floor, to management, and right on through to the customer. Compensation is crap!!! Salary for supervisors is less than what the hourly folks bring home. Benefits aren't even half of what the hourly folks bring home - it's the cheapest plan legally available. No matching on 401k. Pathetic pension. Add 50 hour workweeks and you've got a pretty depressing package.
