      A company with no understanding of communication

      Pros

      Management is usually good about giving requested time off. Flexible with hours. Rate of pay is decent for line of work. Benefits are decent.

      Cons

      Upper management has little to no contact with store level employees. The only feedback given is negative. The new customer service program is insulting to both employees and customers. Your entire experience with the company is based on store level management. A good or bad relationship with them will either save or endanger your job, regardless of job performance.

      Pros

      I've worked foe Safeway for 30 years. The pay is decent and the benefits are quite good. My co-workers are great. I get plenty of vacation and getting certain days off is usually very easy.

      Cons

      Constantly barraged with soliciting charitable donations. This irritates many customers. Also, the company's new "customer service" policies are designed to force employees to drive sales rather than be courteous and helpful to the customers. Job recognition or positive feedback of any kind is non-existant. Rather, our jobs are threatened if we are not perfect on secret shopper reports.
