Pros

Discount on food. It is a paycheck, even if it is very small.

Cons

Managers are not well trained. Demoralizing to their employees. They work you like a dog for $11.20 an hour. They expect you to be able to get everything done in the back and take care of customers too. Training is basically zilch. You have to work every weekend. Part time is only 24 hours a week.

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.
