      Pros

      Oppertunity for advancement is great. Seems like the more you slack the easier it is to go into management. Co workers were awesome before many Albertsons people pushed Safeway employees out of their positions.

      Cons

      All Albertsons employees just cant wait to throw you under the bus. No more teamwork since merger. Unbelievably workload in an 8 hour shift which is unrealistic to accomplish. Management wont listen to the employees. They just get told whats expected and if you cant deliver..you are a target.

      Pros

      Getting Paid every week

      Cons

      Pay is horrible, they say full time but won't provide hours. It takes 3,600 Hrs. For a 25 cent raise that = 3yrs they won't work with people who has a second job because they want all your priority even though they pay the bare minimal there is no diversity in the company's management I notice a lot of the same races in management In different stores. They work you like a slave and pay you barley enough to live by. There hiring all the time because people around my age 22 keep quitting while the older people making $22 an hour stay until they die getting TRIPLE PAY ON HOLIDAYS and the new hires only get $1 extra an hour on most holiday and time in a Half on certain holidays when y'all feel like being less cheap that Gap in payment alone is unfair Mind you it only took older people 500 hours for there first raise 500 vs. 3600 hrs. The union sucks it seems like Safeway is paying them off Safeway Profits is going up but pay is going down not the company it use to be! Horrible now

      Pros

      Depending on the department there is a great atmosphere and guidance for growth. Management is supportive with new ideas and suggestion (depending on BU)

      Cons

      Some Business Units are dead ends. Super competitive and cutthroat (management included). Pay is not competitive, healthcare is getting worse and worse and things seem only to be getting worse.
