Pros

Job security, experienced leadership, many members of management have been with Safeway for over 20 years. Opportunities to learn additional skills and gain training in new areas which could lead to promotions. Excellent job in a recession.

Cons

50-60 hours per week 24/7, open holidays and weekends. Very demanding work and expectations with no annual raise or additional time off. Software is outdated for various positions.

Pros

not a stressful environment. lots of money to spend with vendors. stable employment. provide a pension.

Cons

very little room for advancement if you don't know how to work the system. very little attrition. low compensation compared to other companies. Only compensate well to those who are still working here after 30 years. Too many managers, directors, group directors, vice presidents, group vice presidents, you get the picture.
