Pros

Salary is ok to good. Great experience available for younger employees to manage with little previous experience.

Cons

Job satisfaction is nil. The one store company I am at now would never promote the people who get promoted within Safeway now because no one wants the job. Experienced managers leaving in droves. Way unrealistic expectations for the stores with miniscule labor available to get it done. I would NEVER recommend this company to a friend, unless they were single, and in their early twenties, and want to gain the experience of working as a manager for a fortune 50 company

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.
