Safeway reviews

Almost everything else that you can think of. Retirement plan is atrocious, training is non-existent, knowledge experts that don't know anything are abundant, office politics is like watching TV...you'd only think stuff like that can happen in TV, antiquated management, antiquated equipment, trust me, this is not a place you really want to work if you can avoid it.

Well, its nickname is Slaveway for a reason. They schedule you very little hours and expect you to get all of the jobs they assign to you done in three hours. I often would stay one hour or more over to finish my work (and I'm not slow). The whole time their complaining about how I should have it done by then. Well the reason its not done was incompetent employees the day before don't know how to do their job, so I have to do half of their job along with mine. I asked my Manager numerous times for more hours because I'm one of their better employees, did that happen? No, I ask for one day off and I get a while week off. Let me remind you that I can count on one hand the number of days I've taken off in a year. The pay is horrible because they can easily get some 16 year old dimwit off the street and he can do any job in the store. Or we can keep good employees and give them raises instead of this 50 cents an hour bonus on Sundays bulls**t. Why would I work two times harder than 3/4 of the employees in the store and still get the same pay? Safeway seriously needs to rethink their employee first profit second way of doing business. Oh, and we are REQUIRED to ask for donations to any special program that's going on or we get talked to by management and a "NO" on our shops. Ah, the things Safeway does to look good in the public eye. Needless to say there's a reason why I no-longer work there after one and a half years of hell.
