Pros

Great overall environment. The place is filled with customers all day, at times it may be busy but the time does go by fast.

Cons

Lots of walking around and at times you have to get carts. It can be extremely busy. Job is full of physical work never able to sit down

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.
