Pros

Lots of projects going on because of Albertsons-Safeway merger. Not too metrics-centric. Highly values teamwork.

Cons

Poor training plan for new hires. Goals and objectives are not set at the start of the year. Delayed annual salary increase. Restructured management resulted to too many people (50+ FTEs) reporting under one manager. People have the tendency to be unprofessional by talking too much about personal matters during shift. Shifting schedule for 2 weeks.

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.
