Pros

a paycheck , but no personal life allowed

Cons

Terrible place to work. Management treats front lline associates like dirt and slaves. The company is GREEDY and expects to stay afloat by forcing employees to shop there so managers can make their bonus. I cannot afford to pay $1-$2 more for each item, just so management can keep their jobs and earn their bonuses. Management make mega bucks they are unqualified for and will do anyhting to keep. Healthcare cost for employees have more than doubled in last five years with less coverage Company president says company healthcare costs contained and it is only becasue employees must pay more with less coverage. None s happy here, except senior management becasue they are GREEDY and will do anything to keep collecting their $$$$$ Safeway monitors everything they can about employees including personal information, like healt issues, not only me buy my covered family, prescriptions, how much you spend at Safeway, when you shop, what products you buy. BIG Brother Safeway intrudes into employees lives. Employees are afraid to speak up so remain silent

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.
