Pros

Oppertunity for advancement is great. Seems like the more you slack the easier it is to go into management. Co workers were awesome before many Albertsons people pushed Safeway employees out of their positions.

Cons

All Albertsons employees just cant wait to throw you under the bus. No more teamwork since merger. Unbelievably workload in an 8 hour shift which is unrealistic to accomplish. Management wont listen to the employees. They just get told whats expected and if you cant deliver..you are a target.

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.
