Pros

It is nearly impossible to get fired here, so if that's what you're looking for, then by all means...

Cons

This is a company full of lazy, low-skilled workers. Most of the IT Support is outsourced overseas, and the critical business systems are from the 80s. The company culture encourages skilled workers to leave the company out of frustration and encourages the lazy, low-skilled workers to stay and perform at minimum expectations without fear of termination.

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.
