Pros

Wages for management, the customers.

Cons

Company is very cooperate driven, and does not care about their people. They say they do, but it is always a "what have you done for me lately mentality." 60 hours a week with odd days off is the standard. No matter how well you do, upper management looks at you like they have been their and done that. They do not care if you are happy, you are just a body to man the store.

Pros

Fun part-time job, great hours if you get higher on the board and are Union. The jobs are a little large for one person, sometimes, but otherwise something to train your body for if you're on the front end. It's a good starting base.

Cons

Employment from Safeway was great till Albertsons merger. Now it feels kind of like the daily grind with all the new rules and enforcements and lack of company organization.
