Pros

Always have work, good benefit package, but im under older contract, you get to learn good social and work skills.

Cons

Lack of qualified help!! Sad to see the ship sinking, Its going down like the titanic, The customer, ya the ones that pay for my lively hood are becoming frustrated, as the company cuts the help, they cut the sales, Im seeing it first hand. It just seems that its being run aground intentionally. So it makes it real hard to see the people you have provided great service to for so many years, say see ya. Because the stores are falling apart and its not because of lazy workers, its because they are cutting in the wrong places. That makes it a real downer to see.And I know, we have to show a profit to the stockholders, but when your cutting labor and sales are plumeting, you are not cutting labor!!! Hello Econ.101..

Pros

Safeway is a good place to work. It's unionized so you get good pay, my starting pay was $13. They do a good job of training you, the staff are very friendly. It was easy to swap hours and the bakery always closes at 8 pm so you're never there too late

Cons

Customers can be rude, but then again customers are always rude everywhere. Things can get a little messy with bread crumbs and garlic butter everywhere and you're standing for long periods of time.
