Pros

Employee discount, fellow employees helpful.

Cons

Poor work scheduling, last-minute changes. Difficult to keep up with regular required chores while being assigned multiple additional tasks. Management needs HR and PR training. They need better centralized employee training and one-on-one guidance for new employees.

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.
