Pros

Hard work pays off now! If you get results at your store you will move up. They recently removed an outdated manager development program that was absolutely useless.

Cons

Work/life balance is affected but you have to understand that this is expected since it's an industry that is obviously in high demand (people have to eat). Working holidays (yes, they are open) is expected.

Pros

Nothing at all, only work at Safeway if you're about to be literally homeless

Cons

Genuinely hellish work environment. Management is lazy and absent, customers are the most disrespectful and clueless I have ever encountered. Complete unrealistic labor allocation and expectations. As a PIC, I have to run 9 SCO robots, unlock cases for customers, perform transactions at Customer Service, and answer external phone calls. Customers rightly get frustrated at the complete lack of care by corporate, and take it out on employees.
