Safeway reviews

Working here is physically exhausting. Coworkers do not work together and will throw you under the bus for their own benefit. Managers will walk around with nothing to do but micromanage. You are always at a constant fear that you aren't doing something right. Too many ridiculous rules. Managers will always be trying to give cashiers work when they see you're not busy, but not realize that the most simplest job will take hours because of the interruptions of customers. Even if you are not busy that second, you just have to wait half a minute to get more customers. The coworkers that brown nose the managers will get special treatment. Not the employees that are actually doing their job. Technology is ancient. You will kill your back due to the lack of hand scanners for heavy objects.

-Some of the customers were rude and arrogant -Managers were quick to choose favorites (I.e. one guy who comes in "buzzed" everyday) -Managers were annoying and picky--too many chiefs -No one knew what their benefits were because the union guy didn't even know -The employee trainer is an imbecile. She never calls you back to schedule an interview and then when you're hired, she quickly rushes you through the paperwork so you have no idea what you're signing, etc. -Courtesy clerks are treated horribly by coworkers and customers -Bad work/life ratio -Hours were always getting cut -Store manager is greedy and unsympathetic (i.e. had a bomb threat and while other shops evacuated, he made us stay open) -Only favorites get promoted unfortunately as it should be based on experience and seniority like it's supposed to be. -Open every freakin' day of the year and close early on 1 or 2 holidays! Ugh!
