      Safeway was a demoralizing and discouraging place to work.

      Pros

      Employee discount on Safeway brand products at grocery store. Balance of life is good, can leave by 5pm. We are encouraged to take time off during the holidays at headquarters.

      Cons

      Poor leadership, high value on relationships and tenure rather than competency. Many decisions are made behind closed doors and not communicated. It's a very conservative company.

      A Decent Company to Work For

      Pros

      Safeway is a stable company with many opportunities for advancement. The pay and benefits are decent once you have enough time invested. If you enjoy interacting with people it is a great place to work.

      Cons

      The hours can be fairly inconsistent, and starting off the pay and benefits are poor at best. Due to unionization much is based on seniority, i.e. the old timers get the best pay and benefits, the most vacation time, and greater control over their schedule. While some managers are great and take care of their employees, many are terrible and can make your work life miserable. Morale crushing paperwork that never ends and is constantly growing, and an overly aggressive service program which is really about forcing products on our customers, not providing great service.

      Pros

      Good pay, esp for part time. part time employees get benefits, Usually willing to work around college scheduals. Got to know other employees well and their families.

      Cons

      If you were a women you pretty much stayed working as a cashier. Almost all the boys were promoted to management within a few years time...especially if they made friends with the boss.
