Pros

The people were the greatest asset, talent there was with a combined retail/wholesale experience. The compensation is in line with the Grocery industry averages and there were plenty of opportunities for advancement. Very flexible work environment in which employees can work from home, coffee shops, etc. Investments in technology that gave the employees tools to be productive.

Cons

The company went through a rough transition period after it acquired the Albertson's business in 2006. Several changes in the Exec Suite brought different direction, attempts to change the culture and multiple cost savings initiative that impacted moral both at store level and in the Store Support Center (Corporate office).

Pros

Some good people work here

Cons

It Management team has been together for years and resists any change. 100% top down. Personal initiative is not overly welcome. Too many of the less senior managers know nothing practical.
