Pros

I needed Family medical leave that I was able to get approved. My manager is a great leader. If you want to work in different departments you can get cross-trained. Different departments receive different pay.

Cons

I was hired as a part-time employee despite me working mostly full-time hours. It's just so they don't have to provide benefits, and can cut my hours as needed without me having grounds to object.

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.
