Failing unethical company

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

I met a lot of lifelong friends.

Cons

Complete lack of integrity in the Finance division as well as Human Resources. Human Resources often targets people on behalf of Finance. Toxic male dominated environment with no regard for people’s time or efforts. The stock price tanked after acquiring Supervalu and the future prospects of the company are evident by the look of the new employees they are able to bring in. Most of the new hires have come out of retirement to fill roles, are young with no experience or are contractors.

Business Outlook

Pros

It pays the bills nothing more.

Cons

Expensive insurance, cut employee time off while CEO gets huge raise. Their motto "do the right thing" only applies if you do what they think is right, they lack a moral compass. Greedy self serving company that share competitor pricing with preferred vendors. Out sources jobs and lacks ability to take responsibility while trying to brain wash employees they are gods worthy of worship.
