Pros

Safeway has great benefits. You have medical, dental, vision, 401K, stock options, retirement after invested 5 years. Wide variety of retail jobs at store level. Opportunity for growth is excellent. Flexible hours.

Cons

Safeway is to quick to hire and promote without giving proper time for evaluating that individual. I have seen more employees quickly moved to PIC's where there is a huge conflict in being a manager and knowing how to manage store employees. A great deal of immaturity has spread with new PIC's, not enough close supervision on what is exactly going on with PIC's performance with employees. I am disappointed to see the group of PIC's we have at our store perform with such unprofessionalism and immaturity throughout the staff and store.

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

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.
