Pros

Flexible scheduling. I was able to go to school while working. They were understandable when finals came around or I had a ton of projects due.

Cons

Lots of work for little pay. I would run back and forth between cutting meats, making sandwichs, serving the hot foods and serving the Chinese food.

Pros

Positive atmosphere, unionized structure with job security, and 10% discount are all good reasons to work for Safeway, but the best aspect of being a Safeway employee arises from the potential upward mobility for those willing to give it their all - Safeway is in the business of people development, and that's a good thing.

Cons

Even though I give everything I have to this job, some facets of management are occasionally too demanding; no one is perfect, but when someone is giving it their all, recognize it and give clearer instruction on how to be better when needed. The busy nature of the business and an overriding drive for results sometimes leaves the employee who needs additional training feel like they're asking the impossible.
