Pros

Great pay because of the union contract in place giving workers an opportunity for raises. Raises were given every 500 hours so the more you work the more raises given

Cons

This company uses part time labor to fill hours so they don't have to pay benefits.Preference given to full-time union workers because of their seniority.Basically you have to work there 2 to 3 years if you expect a full-time position to open up.

Pros

Leadership is probably the best that it has been in awhile. Current CEO tries to connect with the employees but often fails as he does not understand the difference between his salary and those of the vast majority who work for the company. I will give him kudo's for trying!

Cons

There use to be a lot of pros that have now turned cons. It was like a family among the employees and family always came first. Not anymore. Since the purchase and sale of Albertson's it has become a cut-throat business. Along with this change came the loss of company loyalty and the willingness to work hard. You are not appreciated. 401K is basically gone.
