Pros

The other employees were nice for the most part. Working in the meat department was pleasant over the summer because it was kept cold.

Cons

They didn't pay me for my second to last week of work, I had to harass management to even get paid, and they still were shorting my hours. I was also told I'd be getting 20-40 hours a week, but I was getting maybe 16, max. Manager was also extremely lazy, never doing work on his shift and then asking me to do it all on mine.

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.
