Excellent benefits for non-union (grandfather) employees.

Pros

You are unwilling or unable to think for yourself and prefer when someone else does your thinking for you. Kudos to Safeway for it's Diversity Initiative. Now they have a multi-gender, multi-cultural group of clones in local store management. Paint the puppets any color you wish, they're still puppets.

Cons

Arrogance of upper management towards new thoughts or ideas. The shareholder is king, the customer is an afterthought.

Pros

The health benifits are good.

Cons

There are no good reason I could think of to work at Safeway Corporate in Pleasanton, CA. The top management such as the "Senior VP" of a certain division, has no respect for his female employees, you have to get his coffee every morning and put it on his desk along with his morning paper. I have seen him with his shoes off and feet on his desk drinking coffee and reading the paper! If you don't respect him, your out of a job or HR is called in to remote your reputation as an employee. Is this the kind of Management we want in our working environment who make 6 figures a year! I would not recommend working for Safeway Corp. in Pleasanton, CA.
