-Management has a cold and bureaucratic feel. -Shifts can vary from four days split by a day off each to five days in a row. -Training is non-interactive and very monotonous. -Lots of customer promotions to offer and set protocol for each transaction is difficult to employ.

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.
