Pros

Some of the people I worked with were wonderful depending on the department! My experience with Safeway in different capacities at the Deer Valley campus was inconsistent and varied greatly depending on the upper management staff running the show. For a time had a visionary upper management staff that truly cared about their employees success, development, and value. Unfortunately i left the company for good due to empty promises and a demonstrated lack of value placed upon employees and their abilities. Repeatedly saw poor behavior rewarded and good behavior ignored. Too bad...they are losing some outstanding people!

Cons

Old school method of basing EVERYTHING on seniority instead of performance - Lack of valuing employees - Lack of recognition - People in positions that do not suit their abilities and skills - Don't promote or reward employees based on seniority alone - Lack of salary increase year after year
