Pros
Nice store to walk around in and you get a cool apron
Cons
Bad dress code for the job duties you'll be doing, especially as a courtesy clerk. Bad pay and you are not allowed to discuss your wage with coworkers. You have to clean up extremely disgusting things if there are bathrooms in your location. The managers expect you to be everywhere and do everything and they will contradict themselves. They'll send you to clean the bathrooms and then be mad that you are not bagging.

Pros
* This varies from store to store but, in my experience Safeway has a decent work culture and a individual store's core team is commonly solid, committed, has strong work ethic, and understanding to the various challenges placed on employees and dept. managers alike. A coworker of mine puts it best a well run and maintained store is only possible through the strength and efforts of the dept. managers without that foundation the store struggles. *Decent to good pay based on a management level only. *Great and fast growth opportunity, if your committed to work in that industry. *Overtime pay *OK Employee benefits *Great entry level to the workforce in general, learning the basics of jobs, whats to be expected, how to conduct your self properly at a job and learning that all companies have unique challenges each employee has to face at some point in their careers.
Cons
*Corporate team places very high to meet expectations and sales goals, which is the source of many employee and store management frustrations. *Starting wage is way under par (statistically among the lowest) compared to similar jobs in the grocery industry. *High workload and 40+ hour work weeks (Managers mostly) which is amplified during holidays making work life balance highly difficult. *Consistent labor shortage do to a lack of "competitive wages" and lack of a solution to this issue from the corporate team, which desire to maintain the status quo over creating actual opportunities for the workforce.
