Over 12 Years Of Loyal Service - Anonymous employee Safeway Employee Review

Safeway actively seeks the termination of old contract (well paid) employees at the corporate level. Offers less pay (minimum wage) to new employees than Wal-Mart. Unrealistically high service standards. Forces employees to work drastically varying hours (often with only 8 hours between shifts). Offers only 20 hours per week on average, yet expects to be your first priority. Company profits increase while employee wages, benefits, and morale decrease. Salary employees are expected to work abnormally high hours (often 6+ days per week).
