Albertsons Home Center – September 2020

Tell us about your business/organization and what makes you stand out as an employer?

We are a family owned, independent business that believes our success is the result of our team and our community outreach. We have created a company culture that allows our team to feel comfortable to do whatever it takes to make the customers’ experience the best possible. A business should not just take from its community, in order to be successful you need to give back and help grow your community.

How many employees do you have?

20

What do you look for in a new employee?

Personality is the biggest key for us. We can teach product knowledge and industry knowledge but you cannot teach the right personality. We look for candidates that understand the customer experience and acknowledge customers have a choice where they shop. We want the customer feeling they were valued by walking through our doors.

What advice would you give someone who wants to work for your organization?

A lot of our best hires have come from someone being a customer first. They know what our team delivers in customer experience and they want to be a part of delivering that same level of experience. We suggest interested candidates get to know our store, get to know our business, and see if it is the right fit for them.

Do you anticipate hiring in the next 6 months? If so, for what types of positions?

We always have our eyes open for the right hire, you never know when that next perfect fit will walk through the door. The right person will always be the right hire at the right time.

What is the best way for someone to apply if they are interested in working for your business?

Apply in person from Wednesday to Friday at our store at 1187 Franklin’s Gull Road, Parksville.
