Pros

Pretty steady work people need to eat

Cons

Management doesn't appreciate it employees make no attempt to keep exsisting employees, hard to advance make better money elsewhere, will fire long time employees over W.I.C. Violations this is something they have recently implimemted, more of a hostil work inviroment , have to walk on egg shells.

Pros

I think that the best reason for working at safeway is the nice co-workers that you could have a chance to work with. I like the amptmoosphere that i am able to work in because it suited me the best.

Cons

I cant really say there was a downside, i mean evry jobn has its ups and downs. Overall i think that the pay could of been a little beter.

Pros

* Benefits (when you work long enough to get them)

Cons

* Low Wage * Amount of Hours per week not stable (minimum guaranteed is 16 for Courtesy Clerks [baggers] and 24 for Food Clerks [checkers]) * Once you've maxed out in wages (which now takes more than 4 years at part-time to full-time), there is no room for growth in the company, unless you move out of the union to store management or corporate.
