Pros

Lincoln City is a small coastal town in Oregon and Safeway is a biggest employer

Cons

The management doesn't give a hoot about employee's, the only thing they care about is to keep you working part ttime and cut your hours and this is a BUSIEST Safeway in Oregon state!!! Working there for 2 years the ONLY raise I got is when state of Oregon increased mimnim wage. It sucks! Apparently the most significant activity taking place is the constant backstabbing and pay-back of the upper management, little in the way of professionalism is dedicated to employees. It's extremely difficult to find different work in this town if you have Safeway on your resumre.

Pros

Flexibility, they are very happy to let you take a day off. Great co-workers and you get to grab the cheapest deal available first if u're aware of it.

Cons

No chances for promotion as they only promote people that are blood related. Management can be somehow not as educated as you think and competent for their job...

Pros

The benefits after one year of service are great. In fact they are free. The coworkers are usually fun people to be around too.

Cons

Sometimes it can be a little too 'corporate' but I'm sure any job has that. Sometimes the deli can be grueling work so it is not for people who may be out of shape.
