Disgusting.

Pros

Nice coworkers. That's all I can say.

Cons

I worked in the Deli. The place was absolutely disgusting. They would order an absurd amount of chicken, it would turn green, they would ask us to bread it and fry it up anyways. They never dated anything in the salad case. There were roaches EVERYWHERE. A palmetto bug crawled up the wall one day while I was calling for the next number... Oh, and the best part of the job? They release your schedule for the next week.... on Friday the week before. Cannot plan for a single weekend without using vacation time because you have no idea when you are going to work. Awesome.

Pros

The overall work environment really depends on whom you work with; there are some great managers and not so great managers. Pay and benefits are good; you can make a living working here.

Cons

Schedule can be flexible, but hours can be drastically different from one week to the next. Some managers have no people skills and should not be taking care of customers, much less being in charge of someone else! However, this is not a necessary a problem that is exclusive to Albertsons--I'm pretty sure most corporations are the same way.

Pros

Everyone needs food so there is some stability. Since taken over by LLC has provided increased value to the customer by lowering prices. Health insurance with union employees can be earned by being just part time. Most of the customers are upbeat and fun at some locations. Its a local Boise based company and helps provide income to the local community. I would recommend this company to a friend if they were in need of some quick short term employment.

Cons

Wages could be better or offer a better retirement. Also performance based bonuses would be nice for lower level employees much like Joe Albertson had when he founded the company. Bonuses for upper level employees are shrinking to impress shareholders which shows a focus on short term goals but hides a future labor bubble. "union" JAS insurance is not very good and you have to babysit them to get anything covered correctly. Managers dont always get full time. Schedules aren't posted until the friday before the week starts which basically surrenders your control over your own life. Plan on kissing your family life goodbye and being married to the company. Loss prevention (Albertsons security) openly admits that it focuses 90% of its energy on employees and not outside shoplifters. Telling the employees this is horrible for moral. the company has very little modern leadership and a old school model "I'm the boss" attitude. "do what I say or I'll fire you or find something to fire you over." The company is not in any kind of momentum like almost all of their competitors making it extremely competitive when trying to move up. Waiting for someone to quit or die may take a while if you want to run your own store. There is also a strong network of boozing buddies in the company that doesn't leave a very good example for young employees. It spreads like an infectious disease. Some managers push employees to the point where they feel like they have to work off the clock. They only enforce the non off the clock rule if big brother is watching. Until improvements are made I cannot endorse a company like Albertsons. Although LLC is better than Supervalu the local leadership is not much different so a lot remains the same.
