Pros

If you're desperate, I suppose the stability is a good thing. The biggest pro is that, aside from managers, employees must join the union, which helps keep said employees from being fired for trivial reasons.

Cons

You're constantly talked down to and/or yelled at. It is stressful, and extremely unrewarding work. 10 cent raises every 6 months would not be as terrible if the company would actually stick to it.

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.
