Advice to Senior Management

Stop listening to brown nosers and pay more atttenion to the silent hard worker...
.go outside box ..

Pros

Best reasons to work at albertsons are the pay, customer relations, making people happy and the paycheck. Working indoors is a really good reason.

Cons

Downsides; only part timers, always work weekends & holidays, kids can not be on any leagues or sports because they will not give time off for practices or games. We can't be friends with co workers if we ask for a day off together they will refuse. Can't even ask for a day off during holiday weeks EVER! Can not take a holiday week off near a holiday. Management plays favoritism games and work lower paid employees first.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your employees just as you yourself would like to be treated and then maybe they would respect you more. Try to listen better when we are trying to tell you something instead of interrupting and walking away when we are still speaking.

Pros

Benefits even for part timers

Cons

Constantly increases work load while decreasing number of people to do the job and hours available to do it properly.

Advice to Senior Management

Try doing these jobs every once in a while so you know what is reasonable to expect a real person to do.

Pros

The pay and benefits are good for most positions, and most of the positions are under a union contract so there is some job security.

Cons

If management doesn't like you your hours will be at the minimum hours allowed, and because of the economy the company is down sizing, closing stores, selling stores, and doing lay offs.

Advice to Senior Management

Reward and advance the employees that go all out for the company. Acknowledge the people that come in early, stay late, or come in on their day off.
