Pros

Very smart SVP business leadership. Strong local commitment. Potential for greatness if the leaders who have reached their "Peter Principle" can be removed.

Cons

Some leadership have been there so long, they've lost their drive and work to maintain status quo rather than deal with the very tough issues they confront. There is a strong element of cronyism in middle upper IT management holding back needed change and progress. Innovation is not rewarded.

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.
