Pros

You get paid on a weekly basis at Supervalu. Benefits are good too. They now offer a work-at-home plan for so many days out of the week if you qualify and your manager approves.

Cons

Stuck in the past mentality. Too much management micromanaging their employees every step of the way. Too much control at the top level that prevents change from insightful and effective ideas from the lower ranks. Extreme cost cutting to the point of disruption to the everyday functionality of The Business. Everything is a long process or ridiculously escalated to the point of no-one's for sure. Heavy on the outsourcing who are so incompetent to do anything but the bare basics including the English language. Your job is never secure unless you're already in senior management. If there is a way, there's always a Supervalu outsourced way.
