Pros

Eventually decent wages, after working there for ahwile. Decent benefits.

Cons

Safeway used to offer a fun relaxed working environment. Everybody was a family. They used to have event throughout the year for employees, ie. beach picnics, bbq's and an annual banquet. They also used to be one of the higher paying grocers, but their wages stopped going up about 10 years ago. They used to have an intense "Store Manager" training program, now I see them on "craigslist" looking for managers. Crazy.

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.
