      A lot of potential, but not a great place to work

      Pros

      There is a lot of potential for this company. Great growth. Some of the employees are very experienced and good to work with. New CEO cleaning out a lot of the problems.

      Cons

      Company is cheap in terms of pay and buildings. All they care about is the bottom line, that may mean working 70-80 hours a week. Company is very disorganized and has people who have no idea what they are doing. Senior management is clueless on day to day functions.

      Good Things are Around the Corner at SuperValu...And They TRULY Are! (Jewel-Osco)

      Pros

      SuperValu tries hard to recognize those who excel within the Company, while at the same time congratulating every person on his or her individual merit. They succeed in finding new and interesting ways to make everyone feel like a family, and their zero tolerance policy for misbehavior/misconduct ensures that each employee walks into work each day feeling good about working with the Company. Does it work all the time, every second? No. The continuity comes from each associate to make the weakest link become the strongest, and SuperValu helps each person realize that potential.

      Cons

      I work especially hard at my job, but for the level of skill one obtains and professional quality one absorbs, it still will not gain one a high-earning salary if it's not coupled with a bachelor's degree or higher. The Compay is always willing to promote within, yet their salaries do not offer all that much at store level. One has to enter the Corporate sector in order to gain that level of earning power. Then again, money doesn't buy happiness or peace of mind, so, money issues aside, there are no other significant downsides of working for SuperValu.

      Cost is paramount

      Pros

      Good communication from management that is generally much more open than most companies, Generally a good work / life balance though this can vary greatly depending on your specific role and business group.

      Cons

      Performance management is very poor. Goals and expectations are not really set for the next year. The year begins in March, its now Oct and our group is just considering goal setting now..6 months into the year. Lots of cost pressures and outsourcing going on..both out of country and consolidation at EP. SVU has been very late to the outsourcing game. Reward for performace is very low. U meet expectations - get a 3% raise. U slog the whole year and get an exceeds expectations with substantial more effort - get a 4% raise! Big deal!
