Pros

I worked as a receiver in an Albertson's 1980-2010. Starting out we had very good health care insurance covered 90%. I was trained for my position on the job with no college needed. They did have 401K program with employer participating in contributions.

Cons

Starting pay was low. Raises were slow coming and very low increases (0.10-0.20cent). Fulltime but often had 35 hours only. Lots of stress from mgrs to cover their backsides. Upon death of Joe Albertson, wife sold controlling interest to corporate raiders. Company conditions deteriated at this point.

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.
