Pros

The main reason for staying with safeway for so long is the benefits they offer. They pay is decent compared to other grocery stores. Many paid days off, and a paid birthday.

Cons

Job is boring and repetitive. For a people person this job would not be as bad, however if you are not a people person, going to work can be a drag

Pros

There really is no good reason to work in the store, but as a delivery driver, the money is decent, and you're on your own which is nice. Most of the employees are pretty cool too.

Cons

You have to deal with people in the store sometime. Although most are cool, there are a few that like to make life difficult, but I guess that's everywhere. Also, no upward movement unless you want to be a store manager which requires 40+ hrs which can be tough if you have a family.

Pros

My fellow "non-Management" employees were always helpful (watching each other's backs) & supportive; some very "decent" customers who didn't treat you like you were subservient to them just because you worked in a grocery store!

Cons

After returning to work following serious illness company looked for a way to fire me; union was no help; company brought in assistants from other stores to try & catch me in mistakes (i.e. "B.O.B.", etc.).
