Pros

Average insurance benefit package. Core of knowledgeable workers that handle day to day operations. Decent customer base to work with.

Cons

Poor pay, wage freeze to many times. If you got a raise it never offset insurance increase. Discontinued to many benefits; pension, vacation plan, sick day plan, 401k match decreased or suspended, bonus discontinued to many times. Inconsistent vision of jobs. Field jobs converted completely from a retail counciling prospective to strictly a vendor salesman and a work mule being asked to work to many 12 hour days.

Pros

I enjoy working with this company because the atmosphere is very fun and busy. The customers are great and my co-workers are very nice. We have a policy that states we must be professional, friendly and respectful towards other employees. Our management and HR within our store is very supportive. I really enjoy the overall atmosphere here.

Cons

On the flip side, hours for part timers can be difficult to maintain as there are always new cashiers being hired and the hours are spread amongst everyone. And getting full time is near impossible as a cashier. There are a few "old timers" from back in the day when Supervalu used to hire full time. But they're a "dying breed". Other than that, I find this to be a fun place to work.

Pros

Work-life balance was good. Was allowed to work from home when necessary. Great people working there at the time.

Cons

Acquisition of Albertson's lead to the downfall of the company and based on current financial reports they still can not seem to recover.
