Pros

Strong consumer grocery brand and Fortune 50 company that will certainly carry weight on a resume. Great place to work if one needs a job and not necessarily a career or for someone who is interested in 'doing' rather than 'thinking'.

Cons

Surprisingly poor leadership and top down oriented culture - do as leadership does, or else, don't do and certainly don't voice. Very male dominated, white shirt and tie culture. Lacking fairly rudimentary business best practices. Highly political and not merit based at all. Nearly shocking culture of mediocrity. Safeway is the antithesis of google in so many ways.
