Pros

Good co-workers, fast paced, learning and opportunities for growth. Going from clerk to tech with no school, just OJT and studying on my own.

Cons

Formulas used to figure out hours are bogus. My pharmacy is a high volume Rx and they treat us like other stores, that have nowhere near the volume that we do. But they base our hours the same way. And they scratch their heads as to why we are 300+ scripts behind at the end of the day.

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, answer external phone calls, and move freight. Customers rightly get frustrated at the complete lack of care by corporate, and take it out on employees. Management in the morning all skip out on the evening management early every single day, a luxury the closing staff are not allowed.
