Pros

Great people to work with and made alot of friends. Learn alot about customer service and people skills.Some days can be fun and challenging and have good hours

Cons

They treat there employees like baby's. And give upper management to the wrong people. My department manager was 23 and she was immature and didnt take responsibility for her work. Department managers like to have there clerks to write at least one "No" per day. Which i believe was Ridiculous because it just cause a war between departments. role play was the most dumbest approach to keep there customers satisfied, instead it made there customers uncomfortable while you have to say ONE party comment, TWO facts, ONE opinion, and a closer. Oh yeah, and in the break room they'll have propaganda playing 24 hours and wouldn't allow there employees to watch TV like normal people. List goes on but you can figure it out.

Pros

At VONS you will receive excellent on-the- job training by observing an array of rigid and incompetant upper management decisions and directives, orchestrated by Safeway's Steve Burd and Vons Tom Keller. Get on board with the Vons/Safeway management team! It's a great place to hone your management skills. Here you can learn from the best on how to proceed down a path of self destruction and continual stock depreciation. Join now and experience the rigidity of a company that does not listen to its employees at the store level. Learn the humiliation of experiencing your first "secret shop" as part of the disfunctional and irrelevant Superior Service Program.

Cons
