Poorly managed but enjoyed the people

Pros

Great experience as I was promoted twice in 5 years. The people I worked with were great and made work enjoyable

Cons

Poorly managed, the leaders are all in-the-box white males that have no innovative thinking or even a clearly defined vision for that matter. We were constantly changing course and making last minute, hurried decision. The long-term strategic planning was non-existent.

Was once a great company to work for - terrible management

Pros

The people. Most people I worked with were great and I built a lot of solid relationships over the years.

Cons

Management has no integrity. You're expected to work, breathe, live Supervalu. To management nothing else matters. Hard to have a life outside of work.

SUPERVALU HAS THE FLAVOR OF THE DAY - KEEPS CHANGING STRATEGY

Business Outlook

Pros

Hard to think of anything positive to say. The people that made the company great are gone and the company lacks direction.

Cons

I worked at one of the retail banners until the company decided to lay off all of the regional staff. The retail banner I once worked for has lost customers, and share of market due to lack of leadership, focus, poor store conditions and lack of community relations. There is poor morale of employees. Management really does not care.
