Pros

Workers can be great Great starting job Pay is what is expected Somewhat easy to get days off although not always what is wanted Sometimes get to enjoy the customers you meet Gain valuable experiance Good for when your in school

Cons

Management can be annoying Change in policies often Get very picky with what can and cant be done Treated as lower Above and beyond work is not always recognized Secret Shopper is a very large inconvienence to everyone. This in my opinion, hurts more than helps Sometimes its learn things yourself with little direction. Even if you do more work then employees, all you may get if lucky is a good job. Rarely anything special.

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.
