Pros

Work enviornment and colleagues are good. At Safeway colleagues all know eachother well and even spend time outside of work together (specific for pharmacy crew members). Store manager interference with pharmacy opperations is next to nothing. I would have to say, upper pharmacay management aside, that the work environment is awesome. Safeway does treat it's employees very good when it comes to time off when needed and picking up overtime.

Cons

The biggest downside of working for Safeway is that you never get a straight answer from upper pharmacy management. You seem to get one thing from a manager and the next day a colleague says that they got something completely different from the same manager. There seems to be closed door deals with management that are frequently reneged on. When it comes to moving from one place to anther look out for empty promisses. If you can find a spot where you can just go to work and never deal with upper management (good luck) you should take it and you'll be happy.

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

Cons

When it is busy, it is very busy. Lunch/Break may get pushed back or even denied in extreme cases because there is no one to cover for you.
