Pros

- chill when the store wasn't busy - not micro-managed; as long as I finished my bookkeeping responsibilities for the day no one really came to check up me, i frequently arrived to my morning shift 20-30 minutes late and it didn't make a difference lol - freedom to move around the store as i please, not confined to my work area, literally went on so many bathroom breaks without having to ask for permission

Cons

- stressful when busy because not only do you have to do bookkeeper duties, you also have to help customers with lotto/western union/money orders/returns etc - constantly called to go cashiering when it was extra busy therefore leaving no one at the customer service booth - basically could never call out, i only called out once after having been in a car accident (i was unharmed but was mentally shaken up) and even then my manager was reluctant; there was no one to take over my shift if i ever called out - to add to the previous statement, was left to take over another coworker's work who called out every week and that was my last straw

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.
