Great co-workers. Inexpensive cafeteria. Good company name recognition.
Cons
I worked for Safeway corporate years ago. After leaving to other companies and gaining a lot of experience I haven't even been called in for an interview for positions previously subordinate to mine. I've been told I have "too much experience" by former co-workers. This is just a "dog whistle" for age discrimination in hiring.
