Pros

Made friends with coworkers The Safeway discount Paid weekly

Cons

Open 365 days of the year Management is horrible Couldn’t ever ask for time off without getting yelled at by management Management could care less about their employees Having their employees work 12 8 hour days in a row with out a day off Under paid Management got so angry at employees when they wanted to transfer to another store or put their two weeks in Most of their younger employees are in school and on my days off most of the time around may or June I would have exams and they would try to call me in after numerous times after I gave them my school schedule and they did not care and that work comes first before anything. When multiple females were being sexual harassed by the same man at work. Management and HR didn’t do anything at all. They just acted like nothing happened and said it’s ok they are just being friendly. When that was a lie. Not being able to see your Schedule til every Thursday Have to have management approve a trip through them first before actually booking the trip. Half the time they decline the requests. You will get in trouble if you have already booked the trip. They do not care about their employees social life. They want their employees to work everyday all day no matter how long they’ve already worked. When management gets the most ridiculous days off, but if someone in front end requested a Saturday off, they will decline it. Safeway's management is so toxic and fake to their employees.

Pros

-5 to 10 percent employee discount and additional discount on occasion -holiday pay -vacation pay -sick leave -flexible schedule

Cons

It's a bummer there's not much else in the way of perks if you consider the fact that the only reason there are health benefits is because of the union. Albertsons companies tends to only recognize their store directors and managers, giving them bonuses whilest incentivizing cutting hours to give said people bonuses in which case they will cut hours to no end for until the end of a quarter.
