Pros

Stability. Location. I say stability because I started with Albertsons when I was 16 years old, which is over twenty years ago. I started as a courtesy clerk and was well compensated at the time compared to other entry level positions for a 16 year old. Pay increased with the responsibility accepted. Location is a benefit as there so many Allbertsons, you have an opportunity to transfer to different locations if you would like to move.

Cons

Long hours. Working holidays. The stigma of working in a supermarket. The compensation has not kept pace with inflation. A weak union contract has made it difficult to hire and keep good help, and competition from other retailers, ie. Walmart has made it difficult to be profitable.

Pros

good pay rate, associate discount on groceries, mostly good techs

Cons

Zero work life balance, unless you live to work. "Training" screams of "I don't care". They brag about how GREAT their pharmacist training is, but that was 20 years ago, today their 4 week great training has been shoved into ONE week of on-the-job training with zero follow up or concern that you can't possibly learn all you need in that time, then they shove you out the door. Training during a cyberattack that has nothing working? That's fine, you don't get any extra time despite the fact that you can't learn on a non-working system. Management BS is deep, such as "we want our employees to know why decisions are made" then no way to ask and none of the low level managers has any freaking clue as to why changing an address in the database was changed from just overtyping it to a 5 minute process of logging into a poorly written website to update - and you thought we were bad about it before! And they ask for feedback an entire ONCE a year, with no way of providing it before.
