Pros

Good job if you just need a job or experience.

Cons

For drivers,when seeking other employment,experience and qualification verification is cruical. Safeway uses a company called ''the work number" to verify employment which charges possible employers for verification information and the HR department will ignore contact from potential employers. Some companies have policies against using sites who charge for info, so if they do, you will be passed over for a position you may be qualified for because they cannot verify your employment.

Pros

Nothing at all, only work at Safeway if you're about to be literally homeless

Cons

Genuinely hellish work environment. Management is lazy and absent, customers are the most disrespectful and clueless I have ever encountered. Complete unrealistic labor allocation and expectations. As a PIC, I have to run 9 SCO robots, unlock cases for customers, perform transactions at Customer Service, answer external phone calls, and move freight. Customers rightly get frustrated at the complete lack of care by corporate, and take it out on employees. Management in the morning all skip out on the evening management early every single day, a luxury the closing staff are not allowed.
