Pros

IT'S a well known fact that this company is a highly rated successful company. I heard from other employees that Supervalu leaders and supervisors are fair, sincere, team oriented individuals with one thing in mind ( winning).

Cons

Employees who don't work as a team for the companies success in the business world.

A good learning experience

Pros

Provide training on lift trucks, demands a good work ethic. Hard work, but worth it if you can keep up, the hours are there if you want them. Steady.

Cons

Quality of work is not rewarded, production driven. You can do bad work but if you do it FAST, you might get a t shirt. If you are 100% accurate but just under quota you will get reamed. No room for advancement here, the turnover is so high that if you can even make quota your just stuck selecting or replenishing. If you get lucky and stay a while, you might get a "trainer" position. A sad job to have.

Pros

pay is good have weekly bonuses and medical good 401k a few good supervisors Like Ron and Xiong, John are great and treat every one as equals.

Cons

hard to move around unless you are buddy buddy with them doesn't matter if you have experience they pass you up and give you the run around then train someone below you who has no experience. Also they cover up for their own circle and write up others for the dumbest things like putting a person on a final for running over a stick and letting someone slide for crashing and denting a rack to much favoritism. Also ask for to much and never want to hear what needs to change if they do they don't act on it.
