Pros

Was able to travel to many states on store visits. Received a 10 percent discount on my grocery bill of Safeway brand items.

Cons

The corporate structure is very much similar to a Union group. Most decisions are not considerate of other employees, and just those of the senior / most tenured employees. If you started as a bagger/checker in a store 20 years ago and happen to make it to the corporate level, you'll be fine! Coming into the company as an "outsider" made it very difficult to advance.

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, and answer external phone calls. Customers rightly get frustrated at the complete lack of care by corporate, and take it out on employees.
