Pros

Safeway's employees are unionized. All promotions and salary increases are fair and regular. You will know what your job will required and it will be the same thing most days. Your job requirements and hours will be stable. If you stay with Safeway long enough you can earn a decent retirement through the union.

Cons

Management who don't care about employees and focus instead on the amount of money the store makes. Being effective, creative, or efficient are not rewarded. Your daily tasks will always be the same. Customer service comes before anything else. Most of your co-workers are temporary people working on other career goals or old dinosaurs who are about to retire.

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

Cons

When it is busy, it is very busy. Lunch/Break may get pushed back or even denied in extreme cases because there is no one to cover for you.
