Pros

Good job to start with no experience if someone is looking for a job. Can work your way up. Good people working there.

Cons

Low wages, bad hours, can find a better job if you search. long time to get increased wages or a promotion. not somewhere you want to make a career out of.

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.
