Albertsons Employee Reviews

A typical day is what you made it. If you worked hard they would rather keep one employee than two. So when someone got fired along side me and I stepped up they didn't hire anyone new. They were very accommodating when I asked for time off.Management at departments and in stores changes often so you never know what you'll get. I had good and bad managers. They will ask you to work multiple departments and jobs. The hardest part of my job was working in the deli. I wouldn't recommend it to most since it's the hardest place to work in a grocery store. But I had good coworkers and I learned a lot about handling work at a first job.

Pros

management is nice to young employees, flexible scheduling

Cons

little pay for work, management changes often, if you're stuck with the job they don't respect you

So far it's disappointing

Bakery Clerk (Current Employee) - Mountain Home, ID - September 20, 2023

I found that management is mean, and discouraging. They don't fight fair, so make sure you have your rep. with you. I'll be sitting and waiting to see if I will be returning to work.

Productive workplace, no support from management, and not enough medical leave

All Purpose Clerk (Former Employee) - Klamath Falls, OR - September 20, 2023

It was typical to be understaffed because of scheduling problems, I learned how to take on a leadership role I was never properly compensated for, management ignored harassment from other employees, the hardest part of the job was that I didn't get support from management to take corrective action for employees who were disrespectful, and the most enjoyable part was the coffee, my coworkers, and the fact that we got away with a lot.

Pros

Free coffee or food was under the table, It was technically never supported or allowed by management.

Cons

Lack of support from management, not enough medical leave, improper work/life balance.

Good job after high school

Produce Clerk (Former Employee) - Rosamond, CA - September 19, 2023

The employees were all really chill, but sometimes it felt like you had to work double for a nice pat on the back. No raises at all even though you worked hard.

Simple

Cashier (Current Employee) - Las Vegas, NV - September 18, 2023

A simple job with the only issue being the scheduling. Though that is partly my fault for setting better ground rules. But without setting your times expect to be put on a random schedule every week. You might think that you are closing yet they set you up with a mid shift schedule in the middle of the week. Kinda shows they don’t respect you or your time but as long as you know that. The job is easy. Just set your boundaries and be firm about it.

Productive Workplace

Courtesy Clerk (Former Employee) - Oregon City, OR - September 15, 2023

I absolutely enjoyed working here. I got along great with everyone and felt so welcomed when I joined a little over a year ago. This job doesn’t acquire much skill either, it’s pretty easy.

Great staff, difficult with flexibility

Pharmacist (Current Employee) - Vancouver, WA - September 15, 2023

The work environment is really nice at specific stores, but the flexibility of the company and working hours can be improved. Management can be kind at times, but communication is something that needs work on as well.

I was told I wasn't aloud to reach 40 hours to be eligible for benefits.

Department Worker (Former Employee) - Hammond, LA - September 14, 2023

I believe for having to get as much worked done as you can in the amount of time your there if you work in the back with higher labor like. A department, they should start you out at 15$ minimum. They started me out at 10 because I refused the job at first when they offered me 9. I didn't get paid enough extra expenses but wasn't allowed enough hours for benefits. This made me feel taken advantage of by the company and that I had little leaway of evolving in pay grade or in the company. Multiple fellow Albertsons employees informed me when I got there that they were also kept at 39 hours so they wouldn't be eligible for self benefits as well.

Pros

Easy flexibility if you have children that are in school or if your in school yourself.

Cons

Low pay grade for the labor, don't provide the shoes we need for departments that ruin our foot wear, don't allow enough hours to receive company benefits list eligible on application

Interesting Experience

Service Clerk (Former Employee) - Eugene, OR - September 11, 2023

While this job worked well for building retail experience it was overall not a sustainable occupation for me personally. My location was often understaffed and it felt like corporate didn't really care about our store. Management was usually great but they often hired anyone who could count to ten basically resulting in some really uncomfortable situations with incompetent and abrasive people. Union protections and desperation for workers also made it difficult to remove these people and they often caused disasters in whatever department they were in before being fired. While we were able to sort of stand up for ourselves against abusive customers, it still was absolutely draining dealing with them constantly and often because of the coupon app, which was not very senior-friendly. The wi-fi at our location was atrocious which often caused issues with the app that we couldn't do anything about. My location specifically also was not very accessible to those with mobility issues. There was always just two powered carts that were always breaking, and the office and lobby was upstairs so anyone who used a wheelchair couldn't even access it, not that they ever wanted to apply.On the positive side, I did mostly work with amazing and supportive people and had some pretty wonderful regulars. I made many interesting and fun memories there. I likely would of worked there longer if I had found the right department but I was already burnt out after a year of trying.

Many good coworkers, who help each other out. There is enough work to stay busy, but not so much you feel overwhelmed. No problems requesting time off.

Nice staff, short sighted management.

Pharmacist (Current Employee) - Tacoma, WA - September 5, 2023

Pay is competitive and they give you just enough support staff. However upper management still asks too much from all employees. Especially the techs. They don't have any float techs in house to cover vacations, so it absolutely sucks for techs to have to work double hard when their colleagues go on vacation. I can see the company is cutting costs at every avenue and it's getting taxing, especially when they made bank during COVID for the vaccines, there was zero compensation to their staff.

Good

Cashier (Former Employee) - Fort Lauderdale, FL - September 5, 2023

Was a basic cashier job. Managers were decent and pay was alright for the entry level position I was in. Very few of them left so I wouldn't bank on stating long term. You'll have better luck at Publix
