Pros
Plenty of co-workers to socialize with. Not a ton of micro-managing. Supervisors are fair.
Cons
I always look to find the good in everything. I try not to complain and I understand that work is work. However, Vons and Safeway will work you as hard as they can under unrealistic expectations until you can no longer handle it. terrible pay and a "discount" for every 500 dollars you spend, you recieve a 25 dollar gift card...to vons.... - They push the limit on Union rules -You MUST pay your union dues or else get fired -You will be forced to do jobs you were NOT hired for: For example, I was hired as a bagger but (No exaggeration) I was working produce, bakery, service desk, checker, bagger, starbucks barista, floral and meat department sometimes all in one day. -you will be punished if you exceed your 5 hour limit before taking your lunch EVEN if you are in a checkstand with a line and no one to relieve you. YES you are supposed to leave in the middle of a transaction and take your lunch with angry customers. -Long hours on your feet -All arounf terrible treatment of all employees.
