Pros

The employees help create a fun working environment. They have a lot of young people in their staff which kept it entertaining.

Cons

This was the true definition of clock work and power in management. Some people are satisfied with just doing what they are told to do on the clock and nothing extra.

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.
