Pros

Mostly great customer and some good co workers

Cons

Work load is always dumped on the workers that work hard treated like your not working hard enough and the slackers get a free ride and mangement seems to be oblivose or really don't care . Have tried to move up into other job but held back by mangement because know one wants work the grave shift, stuck in dead end job , the mangement seems more worried about make their bonus then really running the store properly by understaffing all dept and running a skeleton crew front end and having to have other dept to be used as checkers and using and abusing the caddies as checkout service and not paying them for the time they are checking . Store mangement seems they really don't care about their employees or the customer any more real change in the last few years it's really does show , I think it a matter of time before Safeway is bought out and down size or goes out of bussiness. It's not rocket science to see why KING SOOPERS is getting a lot of former Safeway customer. King seems to have clue unlike Safeway.

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.
