Better for students and younger, less financially committed folk... - Customer Service Clerk Albertsons Companies Employee Review

Pros

Good for a student/flexible schedule. Even with experience you'll probably still start out at whatever your area's minimum wage is. Raises are based on time in position. You have to accrue a certain amount of hours for each pay raise. Each department has its own top out rate.

Cons

So if you jump around to other departments and are not paying attention to hours accrued toward your raise you can zero out your accrued hours. Forever moving the goal post away. Not necessarily the company's fault, but it happens. Generally full time is part time in most positions. Better for people who only want to work 20-30 hours. If you want 40 consistently, especially as your rate per hour rises, look toward moving into department management (not salary management), i.e.-- writing your schedule/giving yourself 40 hours of the hours allotted to your department) or be prepared to hustle for hours in other departments/store locations.

Not enough hours/pay to pay bills, odd hours makes it almost impossible to work a 2nd job

Pros

good pay rate, associate discount on groceries, mostly good techs

Cons

Zero work life balance, unless you live to work. "Training" screams of "I don't care". They brag about how GREAT their pharmacist training is, but that was 20 years ago, today their 4 week great training has been shoved into ONE week of on-the-job training with zero follow up or concern that you can't possibly learn all you need in that time, then they shove you out the door. Training during a cyberattack that has nothing working? That's fine, you don't get any extra time despite the fact that you can't learn on a non-working system. Management BS is deep, such as "we want our employees to know why decisions are made" then no way to ask and none of the low level managers has any freaking clue as to why changing an address in the database was changed from just overtyping it to a 5 minute process of logging into a poorly written website to update - and you thought we were bad about it before! And they ask for feedback an entire ONCE a year, with no way of providing it before.
