Pros

-Compensation is decent -Coworkers are nice and friendly

Cons

-Paid time off is rarely honored or approved. My wedding and honeymoon was denied despite requesting time off 18 months in advance! Management stated they never received it, even though there was time-stamped proof. -Pharmacists often work alone. It makes even using the bathroom on a 12-hour solo shift extremely difficult. I often work an entire 12-hour shift without eating at all, and squeezing maybe one bathroom break in! -District Pharmacy Managers are out of touch with reality, often only coming in to the pharmacy to scold pharmacists. -A lot of turnover for pharmacists. I've never worked for a company where pharmacists leave within months of being hired. -Paychecks are inaccurate at times, and are not corrected until the following week; this is despite the errors being the fault of Safeway administration.

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

Cons

When it is busy, it is very busy. Lunch/Break may get pushed back or even denied in extreme cases because there is no one to cover for you.
