Former Employee – worked at SUPERVALU full-time for less than a year

Pros – High pay for only having a diploma.
40 hours a week for most part
Occasional overtime
Saturdays off
Guys there are really nice
Great job for the summer for college kids

Cons – Older guys made way too much money for what they did. The union crippled the company just like many other places. When SuperValu goes bankrupt the Union is to blame ( and Walmart). Management was pretty mindless. Super strict quota rules to make up for high paying older workers.

Advice to Senior Management – Somehow get rid of the union. Keep up the work with the picnics.
