Pros

-great place to work 20 years ago -Union positions offer good pay at top tier and good benefits. Non Union benefits are so so.

Cons

-no work life balance. Mangemnt is severely underpaid compared to other companies w similar positions. Everyday is a fire drill, too many #1 initiatives, disorganized Senior Management makes job harder than it is by running around in circles. Terrible place to work in last 10 years since employees are no longer valued. Most senior employees leave due turnover and the lack of hours to get Dept to meet company standards. Used to be a fun work environment, now just a stressful work environment.

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, and answer external phone calls. Customers rightly get frustrated at the complete lack of care by corporate, and take it out on employees.
