Pros

There are tons of different areas to grow into at Safeway, but it takes initiative to be recognized. The job is also pretty stable, people always need food.

Cons

They will promote based on customer service or years of employment, not their management skills. Pay increases do not happen quickly.

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.
