My coworkers were nice, but the company is very exploitive even with unions. - Customer Service Associate Safeway Employee Review

Pros

I got an employee discount. Able to learn various skills like working with money in a safe, counting, and cashiering. Customers are sometimes nice. Insurance is alright, especially if you need it.

Cons

Only 1 week schedule in advance. Very difficult to use sick pay and time off. Managers are usually poorly trained and have terrible interpersonal skills. Customers suck a lot, and are stupid. Pay is terrible. Unions can suck. Bosses are very manipulative and sly. Training is awful, they only use computer training and in person training is usually a joke-sink or swim type. Very limited merit opportunities. Does not reward hard work.
