Pros

The people you get to work with.

Cons

As night crew you don't work a 10-6 job like some would think. Instead if your new they work you 2am to 10am. Plus you have to stay around 2 more hours if the store hasn't been faced. If you don't stay repeatedly they will kick to to a different department without telling you anything. Most likely to courtesy clerk which is the lowest/worst job in the store. Pushing carts, bagging rude customers groceries and cleaning the entire store every hour. It doest matter how much experience you have they start you at minumum wage. I had 3 years and still am at minimum wage. Management is all about themselves sorry to say that but its true. And the thing that did it for me was the micro managing.

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, answer external phone calls, and move freight. Customers rightly get frustrated at the complete lack of care by corporate, and take it out on employees. Management in the morning all skip out on the evening management early every single day, a luxury the closing staff are not allowed.
