Pros

You get an employee discount, which is nice. You get a 15-minute break every two hours if you work 4 hours or more, as well as an (unpaid) lunch break if you work more than six or so. They were incredibly flexible with scheduling.

Cons

The people aren't always great. Pay isn't amazing either. DO NOT JOIN THE UNION-they're absolutely useless unless you're a full-time worker who's been there for years.

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.
