Pros

* Benefits (when you work long enough to get them)

Cons

* Low Wage * Amount of Hours per week not stable (minimum guaranteed is 16 for Courtesy Clerks [baggers] and 24 for Food Clerks [checkers]) * Once you've maxed out in wages (which now takes more than 4 years at part-time to full-time), there is no room for growth in the company, unless you move out of the union to store management or corporate.

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, and answer external phone calls. Customers rightly get frustrated at the complete lack of care by corporate, and take it out on employees.
