Pros

Flexible hours can work around college student time. There are multiple ways to climb the company ladder if you desire to do so. Most co worker are friendly and fun to work with. Benefits are decent and the pay is okay. Good first job for the younger generation. The pay can be good depending on experience. employee discount is okayish.

Cons

They can and sometimes well cut hours on a whim esp. during non-holiday weeks (minimum hours they can give you is 25 and 16 hours is your under 18 years old.) you have around 5-7 bosses in the store and all must have a good opinion of your work ethic in order to climb the company ladder. Donations and fundraiser collected are from nice and loyal customers but really it's just a massive tax break credit for them. Retirement is a joke; veteran of 30-40 year with the company explain that it's not worth it because you get around $1400-$1500 annually, that it's just better to keep working while you can able-body stand for 8 hour's a day. You are not allowed sit down unless you are break or lunch. Customers can be pretty disrespectful from time to time ( it's retail duh). Wage negotiations are a hassle to deal with and the company well always extremely lowball their offers (hence they offered 55 cent pay bumb during inflation. Employee's wont even be able to buy the food they sale". Employee discount is only 5%-10% off and must use J4U Albertsons app in order to get it ( must renew this on a monthly basis). 10% off for your own brands and 5% off others.

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.
