Pros

Eventually decent wages, after working there for ahwile. Decent benefits.

Cons

Safeway used to offer a fun relaxed working environment. Everybody was a family. They used to have event throughout the year for employees, ie. beach picnics, bbq's and an annual banquet. They also used to be one of the higher paying grocers, but their wages stopped going up about 10 years ago. They used to have an intense "Store Manager" training program, now I see them on "craigslist" looking for managers. Crazy.

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.
