Pros

Higher than average retail pay. 10 hour days instead of 12. Sometimes given lunch break. FMLA allowed me to take a break for my health.

Cons

Everything else. Drive through window. Management for me same but different than store. Front end tried to boss us but didn't know how. Store manager and pharmacy manager did not work well together. Told I would be paid extra for being temporary PIC and was not. Was promised additional money for over time and then told I made enough on salary.

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.
