Great Place to gain experience

Pros

Great Campus Free Gym Grocery Industry is always in need of employees helping to get groceries to the stores!

Cons

The corporate politics here can be sometimes overwhelming, that it's no longer about the work you produce, but whether or not you have a good relationship with your manager or not.

A Decent Company to Work For

Pros

Safeway is a stable company with many opportunities for advancement. The pay and benefits are decent once you have enough time invested. If you enjoy interacting with people it is a great place to work.

Cons

The hours can be fairly inconsistent, and starting off the pay and benefits are poor at best. Due to unionization much is based on seniority, i.e. the old timers get the best pay and benefits, the most vacation time, and greater control over their schedule. While some managers are great and take care of their employees, many are terrible and can make your work life miserable. Morale crushing paperwork that never ends and is constantly growing, and an overly aggressive service program which is really about forcing products on our customers, not providing great service.
