Still a long way to go

Pros

Company is back to what it was before the Albertson's acquisition which could be a good thing because it can know be more focused on their wholesale business and Save A Lot (which was its strength previously) while it tries to figure out retail.

Cons

They still haven't figured out how to be a better retailer and they're starting to price themselves out of the wholesale business as they focus more on hitting margin while sales decline. They've cut back staff so deeply at banner and region headquarters and are spread so thin that they struggle to get just the basic activities done let alone implement improved strategies and programs.

Pros

Good pay for a part time warehouse gig

Cons

No benefits whatsoever. hours vary every week. really hard physical work. you work 40 hours as a part time employee but never get hired on as a full time employee. which means half the pay, no voluntary overtime, and no benefits. Very hard to take time off, you get 2 days off a week, not even unpaid vacation time.

Pros

As has been stated on this site, many people at SuperValu are good, hardworking people. They tend to be the front-line employees.

Cons

A lot of the managers play office politics. Some of them do not have the computer know-how for their jobs. I knew one who barely knew Excel. Also, my current manager likes to delegate the stuff he should be doing to me despite what policy states, and despite the fact that I don't have a lot of time to do his job in addition to my own. It is hard to fire bad employees. You have to be written up three times to be fired, so a lot of people are in jobs that require detail orientation and are not detail-oriented. Then the rest of us have to fix their mistakes until they either quit or get written up. There are frequently unrealistic deadlines and not enough people do to the work. Sometimes managers go against the remote policy and forbid people from working at home, even if we could be more effective working from home. I would not at all be surprised if this company gets bought out in the next few years.
