Pros

Nothing, this job was terrible. It was a minimum wage job where I was being treated extremely poorly.

Cons

The store director had unrealistic expectations, as I had to call out from out of state (something came up and I wasn't going to be able to be home the next day) and I was told my absence was unexcused. I was constantly fighting with management about MY availablity and being scheduled over what I was available for, as I had a second job they kept scheduling me over, despite me not being available. Employer refused to comply with health and safety related to COVID-19 Employer tried to make me come in for standing shifts when I wasn't able to stand from a medical procedure.

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.
