Pros

Good Benefits from the Union. Depending on your management, the work environment can be very forgiving and easy-going.

Cons

There is no opportunity to grow here. Ultimately Safeway views it's employees as replaceable cogs. Your reward for climbing the ranks will be less respect of your personal time, comfort, desires, and your family.

Pros

It was nice at first, people were fairly laid back, I was good at getting everything done, it was straight forward and I didn't have to constantly question what I should do because I was too busy to. As long as you can do the job, it's a good place to work. There wasn't any thinking involved unless it was to do product substitutions, talking to customers during carry-outs, or settling disputes in the bottle return. It was 95% physical and/or cleaning, which I liked.

Cons

I wasn't treated well after an on-the-job injury. For two months, I was supposed to be on light duty. The whole time, I was constantly being told to do things I was expressly told not to that were listed in my doctor's note because they kept scheduling me alone. The last straw was when I was told in a "You can't say no" way to do a task I wasn't supposed to one week after I was hospitalized due to nerve complications from the injury. Needless to say, I wouldn't go back after that treatment; even if my injury didn't make it so I can't.
