Pros

Great Health Benefits, opportunities for advancement, plenty of face to face interaction, works well if you want to work evenings to avoid paying for child care. Managers are usually very good!

Cons

Work nights and every weekend after 12 years, Only $1.00 raise after 12 years of Service, Work all holidays and not allowed to take vacations during these weeks. Must take vacations 1 week at a time, can't take a day here and there, hours are super tight so you are expected to do the work of 2 or 3 people. Great benefits but it takes 6 months to get them, earn 1 week of vacation after 1 year of service. Safeway has a sink or swim attitude due to lack of hours, always cutting costs so you have to bring your own supplies to work. Pens, tape, calculator, etc.

Pros

You get great benefits in comparison to other companies out there but the pay starts off and ends low from other companies.

Cons

Just like any other job, low pay low hours but expect triple the amount of work to be done at all times
