Pros

Good benefits in this company.

Cons

Chaotic - a conglomeration of many grocery acquisitions during the late 20th century with very little effort to standardize policies and infrastructure. As such, different rules apply in similar situations and it is up to the employee to figure things out. The SUPERVALU acquisition of Albertsons could have been beneficial for all, however SUPERVALU never forced the standardizaiton required for efficiency. The result is constant knee-jerk change and an inefficient and expensive operation, ultimately costing the customers at check-out, and long-term employess their jobs.
