      Pros

      Great opportunity for advancement, ability to work in a team environment, can easily transfer if desired. I would recommend this position for those seeking this type of opportunity.

      Cons

      Just the fact that working in retail causes you to work nights,weekends and holidays. However the pros certainly out weigh the cons.

      Pros

      safeway has one of the best compensation package. the pay rate is good and the benefit is great, union benefit . you get a fixed start time with safeway , if you start at 2pm , you will always clock in at 2pm , you will put in 12 to 14 hours depending upon the runs.

      Cons

      safeway is mostly for people who are single or your kids are grown up. you will NOT get weekends off ..... until you have worked there for at least 9 to 10 years. its not easy to take time off here , if request for a sunday off - denied. call in sick you get points , 1 day equals 8 points , get 22 points get written up , 30 points , bye bye . safeway has put in a system where they turned truck drivers into puppets or robots. it used to be good working for them , but since 2009 or so it has gone south. now its like walking a tight rope , drivers are dime a dozen.
