Pros

Overall good work/life balance and compensation is fair for the market. Work atmosphere is overall good.

Cons

Merger with Albertsons is challenging as the new world provides little company communication regarding direction and results. Safeway senior leadership team did a great of communicating.

Pros

Flexible time. Never a dull moment. Get to develop person skills. Employee discount. Will train. Working environment is nice and neat.

Cons

Tedious work. Low pay. Have to join the union to work. Union fee is high for such hourly minimum wage.

Pros

To be honest, I only stayed because I loved the people I worked with! (YMMV depending on location)

Cons

Not paid enough, too little hours, too much crap to deal with. Pretty much impossible to get out of (aside from quitting), zero social life for me (because I'm the "lead" closer, and all my friends work during day hours).
