Pros

It takes a lot to be fired/let go from a job here (mostly because the turnover is so high).

Cons

- Overworked and underpaid. - Company gives nominal annual merit raises (1-3%) even for associates they say do high-level work. - When an associate leaves the company, they will divide the work among other associates in lieu of posting a job vacancy. This is becoming more common since the failed merger with Albertsons. - They are resistant to raises when asked, even if you can demonstrate your value add. - As of 2025, they are forcing a mandatory 4-day in office schedule.
