Pros

Flexible hours for students. Secure job. Advancement opportunities into supervisor level. There are definetily some good people working there. Union Job.

Cons

Difficult to advance into store management. Long hours. Always on call essentially. Good workers get more work and less freedom while bad workers are given all advantages.

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.
