Pros
In the past, it was one of the best places to be employed. Not so anymore. It's a paycheck. There are medical and dental benefits, though they have become rather costly to the individual. A retirement plan that paid 7% per year but was cut to 3% could be seen as a benefit. Sick leave and vacation can be earned but nearly impossible to get approved.
Cons
Outright abuse. Right to work state does not mean right to abuse your employees. Never the less, Safeway does. You will not find many pharmacy personel who, in all honesty, could say much good about this company, upper management, and the work place environment. You will be terminated if you do speak negatively about the company and are identified. They promise customer service but cut the resources needed to provide such service. Quality and quantity of staff and systems lacking. Promises and incentives used as bargaining tools, but neglect to present the "real" picture. After the fact is your problem to deal with. Upper management dies not help at any time. This year alone has seen a mass exodus of long time pharmacists and technicians...if that doesn't tell the story.
