Pros

it has been steady work never laid off

Cons

always cutting employees hours, can work a variety of shifts in a single week, takes long time to become a journeyman and get pay raises. and the few that do get hours have been there forever. then they want to send you home early to cut hours.

Pros

Reasonable benefits, easy to get hired, customers are great, non-management jobs are pretty low key and not too many expectations.

Cons

Micro managed to an insane degree, very top down management, no team work is in place or encouraged, management does not treat anyone like peers only like underlings, gossip mill is very busy,

Pros

There are tons of different areas to grow into at Safeway, but it takes initiative to be recognized. The job is also pretty stable, people always need food.

Cons

They will promote based on customer service or years of employment, not their management skills. Pay increases do not happen quickly.
