Pros

They do actually have decent benefits once you work there long enough,that is really about it

Cons

Nobody cares about you, you are left to fend for yourself out there. The only way to get ahead is if you kiss a lot of behind,and I mean a LOT of behind. There is no such thing as having your hard work pay off over there.

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.
