Pros

Only pros to working at Safeway was that it was the only company that would hire me when I was younger than 18.

Cons

I worked at Safeway for 13 months as a Courtesy Clerk and it wasn't a great experience. Aside from very low pay, Safeway does not provide enough help for the Courtesy Clerks to get their jobs done effectively without hurting themselves or getting WAY behind. As a 95lb girl, I had to push 7 carts in 100 degree weather, several trips in a row just to keep up with things. Aside from that, two cashiers who had been working there for 17 and 23 years were each fired (at different times) for accidently messing up three WIC transactions in 365 days. Seriously, that's not hard to do. After 17 years of loyalty to the company, that's a very poor way to reward them.
