Pros

Nice area (Pleasanton, CA) Well maintained / Clean

Cons

- Insufficient Employee Parking Lots, need to park across the way in Mall parking lot. - Handful of resentful and jealous co-workers/management. If you arrive to Safeway with an established background (college education, decent GPA, and/or once worked for a well-know company) you will be snubbed/bullied/ousted/ridiculued/questioned by those who apparently did chose a different path (or personal goals) for themselves. Quite petty and high-school like behaviour! - HR Dept is abominable: Incompetent and FAKE people! They act as they "care" for their employees or are collaborative with other depts. NOT! They pepper these posters in campus of Inspirations and "how we should act towards one another". HA! Practice/Demostrate what you preach` - IT Dept is unpleasant : Arrogant, bitter, annoyed, invidious, and overall inconsiderate group of people. - "Management" (Directors and above) - Bureaucracy at Sing Sing! "Yes master...!" (You get what I'm saying?)

Pros

Keeps within industry pay and benefits. Health and welfare through unions are A++. Company pays for those benefits and promotions are for all qualified personnel. Upper management seems to predict future industry moves and is quick to adapt.

Cons

Same as most large corporations, cliquey groups and some drama, but the higher the pay, the less turnover.
