Pros

Health benefits are okay, hours can be nice. $0.10 more than minimum wage. Can learn to a point

Cons

Raises are degrading you can work 40hrs and still not be able to afford bills. Physical and mentally demanding Employees have no hope "Bend over and take it" motto You can work hard and get on managers good side but promotions are unlikely. Dealing with WIC EBT, 50/50 they will be difficult. Hour cuts all the time it's retail.

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.
