      What are perks and other benefits like at Safeway?

      Safeway reviews

      Minimum Wage but with pay increase every 500hrs

      Deli clerk
      Current employee
      Calgary, AB
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Job is easy and you have a union so you get decent benefits like getting a pay increase of 10 cents every 500 hours worked, Dental, eye/vision care, and pharmacy insurance, and other perks.

      Cons

      You start at a minimum wage of $15 per hour and you only get at most 32 hours per week. The maximum wage you can get is $22 per hour but It would take you years to get there. This is only for the Deli clerk position, other departments have different hours and contracts.

      Not worth it.

      Cashier/bakery assistant
      Former employee
      Port Coquitlam, BC
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The occasional free bakery snacks, good coworkers.

      Cons

      Management is awful, there is not room to have a pay raise or a better position at the company, zero benefits, little choices for time off, pressured into extra shifts, pressured into filling in at different areas in the store such as grocery and deli, minimum wage even after working for 5 years.

      Very good company and nice co-workers except one

      Bakery associate
      Former employee
      Pleasant Hill, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits were nice and the work was reasonable based on the pay you were getting. You get offered employee discounts as well.

      Cons

      There was one lady which im not going to name that made me quit. She was always rude and wanted to always argue with other co workers. She made the days for us almost unbearable and as soon as she left it would be like a boulder off our team in the bakery. Management for workers could be better especially older workers.
