      Stressful Environment

      Pros

      The people and customers in the are were great to work with, small community. I enjoyed the baking and cake decorating and training and coaching other employees who were willing to learn.

      Cons

      Over the past few years the hours have been constantly cutting down more and more in this dept. (example: 240hrs to 140hrs) That could be 5 part time people to help! The sales are good, but they want to squeeze as much labor as possible out of you. No time for breaks! They frown on that. No incentives to keep part- timers, wait 2 yrs. for benefits.

      Pros

      you get benefits and thats the only pro i can think of.

      Cons

      the most overworked, underpaid job i have ever worked for. The company and most of the time the management does not give one hoot about their employees. Its all about that greed. They'll kill you for 10 days straight and you won't get paid overtime because it'll be the end of one work week to the beginning of another. You'll get lucky if you get one day off that you requested. Literally everyone talks about how miserable Safeway is in the break room, do yourself a favor and apply somewhere else.

      Major Uncertainty at the Moment

      Pros

      Used to be a good place to work. Good people, good balance, nice gym at corporate campus, good value and diversity. But this is all seems to be a thing of the past.

      Cons

      Bought by Albertsons with backing from Cerberus. It is all downhill at the moment. People are meat poppets getting moved and replaced and walked out. Lots of uncertainty. Moral is super low. People are running for the door. Id say stay away until the dust settles then we can see what this thing looks like. Right now it looks like a very old school company approach to management.
