Pros

Safeway employees are unionized, so working for Safeway you get excellent health care benefits that kick in after you work there for 1 yr. Safeway also has a pretty good 401(k) program that kicks in after a year. Their support structure for working with employees to constantly improve customer service is great. They are family friendly, and will work with employees to adjust their work hours if needed because of family.

Cons

Safeway's personal employee evaluation process is less than stellar, and doesn't really have what you could call any structure to it. This makes it difficult to know where management wants you to improve, and to give you critical feedback. Expect Safeway to work your fingers to the bone, and to squeeze every drop of work out of you that it can, asking you to do things beyond what your job should call for.

Pros

Supported by entire team. Employee Discount for Safeway products. Extra hours available if you want to work passed minium hours each week.

Cons

Training for the floor is not helpful when you actually began to work the floor. They need to spend more time with new hires and develop a standardized work manuel.
