Pros

I have been working at Safeway for 3 months, what I like about working here is that your fellow courtesy clerks are nice and friendly and somewhat supportive. Working here gives you 10% off employee discount and S.C.E.A perks (discount admission fees of events) benefits.

Cons

However, working as a courtesy clerk can be very stressful and overwhelming. Expect your wage to be 10 cents above minimum wage, pushing in heavy carts from parking lot in all COLD, HOT and RAINY weather conditions for an hour. Also expect to be cleaning bathrooms. The management team I found is not really all that supportive and also found them to be very micro-managing even when you are trying your hardest to do the tasks well.

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.
