Pros

Supported my family well! Steady income. People always have to eat!

Cons

Lots of corporate interference. Sometimes they treat you like you don't have a clue. But now days they pretty much line everything out for you so you don't need to be a thinker. That is unfortunate because now all they basically draw for employees are students or ex walmart workers. Benefits and salaries are slipping. YOu must join Union also.

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.
