      Lack of cutting edge knowledge and bureaucracy stifles motivated workers

      Pros

      Safeway is a steady company that rarely lays off employees. The work life balance is acceptable and there is general support for talented individuals who want to move around the organization.

      Cons

      Compensation is well below the industry average and many talented employees leave for suppliers. The old fashioned management is and those who are less than stellar performers are left over. Within Corporate Brands specifically, innovators are quickly beaten down and leave within three years causing major reorganization and confusion within the company.

      If you like being treated like dirt, perfect place for you.

      Pros

      If you need a job to kill time, or just to make extra money than it's perfect. Most of the employees are pretty nice.

      Cons

      They expect you to do so much more than what they pay. I've literally had to scrape the floor OUTSIDE of starbucks in a different department. Why couldn't that departments employees do it? I have other duties to do in my department that they expect done. The customers are the most stuck up people i've ever met. Every single day at work I have to deal with a customer who isn't happy with the bathrooms & when I can't fix it, I get sh*t for it. Ridiculous.

      It's a job, not a career

      Pros

      The benefits through the union are the best reason to work at Safeway. The good employee's far outway the bad.

      Cons

      Management, both store level and up, is hit and miss. Some know what they're doing and others you can run circles around. Corporate has the stores operate in an ideal scenario rather then what the world is actually like. Everyone is overworked and unde rappreciated, yet expected to work with reduced hours.
