Pros

Decent benefits but it depends on how you look at it. You can work with great people which can make the job fun, but again it depends on the store. And if you know the customers personally some of them are amazing and you look forward to hopefully helping them out again. You can start to build a repertoire with customers as well.

Cons

Management has really gone down hill at Safeway, seniority means nothing to them as it did before. Favoritism plays a major role in what jobs you and the amount of hours you work. The benefits they now offer are horrible! I cant even find a doctor that will take my insurance. And the Union cant help you with much when you ask them to. I've had managers that some employees were praying to be kicked out and people were transferring or trying to because the management was so poor
