Pros

The job is very simple and easy. Not physically demanding at all. Easy to request days off. Medical benefits are good. 10% off safeway brand products.

Cons

Mgmt treats you like you're incompetent because you're just a lowly cashier. The pay scale is terriable. Takes FOREVER to reach the top. Work schedual varies each week. You never know how many hours you're going to get. Have to be patient when dealing with some of the dumbest people you'll ever meet in your life. The union dues! It makes it show your earning less than minimum wage in the beginning.

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.
