Pros

Everybody has to eat. Good company to work for during these hard times. Good concepts on marketing/merchandising.

Cons

Evaluated on every possible aspect of the job. Never a simple "thanks" or "good job" Don't practice what they preach on quality of life. Many managers work 60+ hours a week as salary employees.

Pros

Safeway is a relatively secure place to work because, hey, people gotta eat. In a way I'm very glad to be here in these tough times.

Cons

I'm dumber for having worked here. The organization is extremely top heavy and getting anything decided or changed is so cumbersome that most people stop trying after a few years and become assimilated and complacent.

Pros

Working at a bigger company like Safeway definitely gives you more freedom to move around and experience other areas of interest, whereas you might not be able to do so in a smaller company.

Cons

There was a lot of politics in the department that I worked for which was unprofessional and made it a difficult environment to work in.
