      Not the Best place to work at...

      Pros

      It does provide some job security if you can secure a full time position. Because of company policy layoffs are not a danger. If you are a minority the diversity program offers a very clear path to management if that is a direction employees wish to advance to. There are good health care plans for full time employees if you can afford to contribute for the coverage.

      Cons

      The wages and salary are fairly low even for full time employees. Because it is retail if you are full time you will rarely get a weekend or holiday off of work. Because there is not a lot of help available due to tight labor restrictions this makes adjustments in schedules more difficult if events occur outside of the work place.

      A great place if innovation and motivation are unimportant to you.

      Pros

      Safeway is a strong company where you don't have to fear being laid off if you are in the core groups of marketing or finance. Work hours are reasonable,but it is difficult to get time off for things such as Dr. appointments or personal affairs. Those who are talented and motivated can be promoted quickly away from entry level.

      Cons

      The industry and company practices are well developed and this is not the place for creativity or "go-getters". Your benefits are surprisingly insufficient for such a large company who claims to do good things for humanity. No 401K matching and very low salaries compared to exact jobs outside of Safeway.

      OK Place to work

      Pros

      Easy job, and the hours are very flexible. Good for a summer job or a seasonal job. Good job security. Many times I would be able to relax and hang out with friends during the job. It was almost a social hour on the job, because the job was so boring and mundane, almost everyone wanted to hang out with each other .There were many people in my age group and I was able to meet alot of people, which was definitely a good thing.

      Cons

      Low pay, no real advancement opportunity. The work was boring and mundane. Not challenging, so very little self-satisfaction recieved from work
