Albertsons – “Serious fundamental problems exist throughout all levels of the Albertsons corporation.”

Pros

Good starter job, no specific skills required. Comparable wages starting out.

Cons

The way management is promoted. Ineffective/non-existent evaluation system which causes under-qualified people promoted more often than not.

Training is basically non-existent. Computer training is used, but does not teach employees how to do their jobs and neither does management.

Upkeep of retail stores is a huge problem. Store Directors are just barely encouraged to fix problems as they arise rather than undergo preventative maintenance because of effects on their bonuses.

Mismanagement abounds.

Advice to Senior Management

Train, train, train. Wages should be the same across the board, not just depending on your location.
