With the coworkers at Jewel-Osco at the Skokie, IL location there were a few spiteful individuals who would throw you under the bus before looking in your direction.
The entire system is ridiculous on how things are running. I know each division has it's quirks and are set in their ways with a "No, don't change our way of doing things" type of policy. For example - There's no accountability with Jewel-Osco in order to evaluate a cashier (1 cash drawer with 3 to 10 cashiers working from it), but Albertson's (going back to the 90s) had accountability where there was 1 cashier to 1 cash drawer, so, instead of evaluating 1 cashier you have to evaluate the 3 to 10 cashiers. Another thing I find odd is that with Jewel-Osco (and from the new Albertson's) you MUST be apart of the union or you won't be hired. Going back to 2000, you didn't have to be apart of the union, but if the employees walked you had to as well.
I lost my 7-8 years with the company when I came back as well as my pay after returning back to Albertson's/Jewel-Osco due to a gap of time that I was working in the IT field.
