Pros

Great coworkers who are like family

Cons

We aren't allow to have water they made me walk to work in a snow storm with cars swerving at me mean while they let other people who could drive stay home they blatantly ignore peoples health needs and they don't even accept our own health insurance at our pharmacy they took water away from us on the register so now we deal with hours of ringing and constantly moving and talking with no water and they only give 10 minute breaks so by the time you get to the break room or your locker you barely even have time to sip the water before you have to go back to work they ignore requested days off they cut hours so bad that there isn't enough people to check and get the floor work done and then we get penalized for it they kill all aspects of individuality you not even allowed to dye your hair without their permission and you get in trouble if your ankles are showing overall the management treats the employees like crap i wouldn't recommend it to anyone

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.
