Pros

Benefit package was very good

Cons

Long hours, rarely get two days off in a row. Be careful when asking for a transfer, they approved mine then when I moved they offered me stores 60 miles away from my home when there were several stores within 30 miles, I declined and went to work at a bank, best move I ever made.

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.
