Pros

You get a lot of hours as long as you look like you don't care about your job and/or look like a low achiever doing the bare minimum. Also Safeway values customers with a lot of items in their baskets and do not care how the long the line gets. My Safeway location - Fruitvale Ave - had thefts hourly and when security was told, the answer was "we can't do anything about it." the place felt like a jail because they had so much tech. trying to stop theives.

Cons

You have to look like a low achiever or else you get picked out as someone that may want the boss' position even though you may or may not care at all.

A majority of the employees were great to work with. Benefits are great while you're in the union.

Cons

inconsistent hours, horrible pay, unsafe working conditions due to building is actually falling apart. No discipline or accountability for emplyees who refuse to follow company policies. Corporate impossible to get in touch with.
