Pros

– Great work/life balance. You start work at 8:00 a.m. and leave at 5:00 p.m. and the corporate offices are right on the Boise Green Belt. – Entrepreneurial environment allows you to experiment and fail. – Opportunity for growth (mostly based on tenure but it's still there)

Cons

– Decentralized model with no clear vision. No one really knows what that means and the idea of what it could have been died with Joe Albertson. – If you challenge your manager, they will have no problem dismissing you. This didn't happen to me personally but with someone on the team. – Senior management may necessarily not be the most qualified. Just because they started working with the company bagging groceries 30 years ago, doesn't mean they know how to get the job done. They're out of touch with the current grocer marketplace.

Pros

Most of the people that work here are really nice. Makes it worth working here. The pay is pretty good and once you've been there awhile the vacation time is good. 5 percent discount on groceries, 10 percent on store brands.

Cons

It takes while to top out at the maximum. A couple years or so. They judge when you get your raises on how many hours worked so you have to be patient. The insurance is really bad in my opinion. A lot per month for a family for a high deductible. Union stores have way better insurance but they pay less.
