Pros

Some scheduling flexibility at times

Cons

I’ve consistently encountered pervasive and entrenched bigotry and discriminatory treatment in nearly all aspects of my employment with this company. Of course this comes at a personal cost to me in terms of job performance and emotional health. Management fails to take the issue seriously and company provides anemic training regarding issues revolving around discrimination in regards to sexual orientation. I’ve experienced verbal assaults, obstructions from performing my job detrimentally affecting my performance results. Also an uneven and discriminatory application of corrective/disciplinary system favoring or overlooking similar issues for my heterosexual coworkers, based on contrived and convoluted reasoning. Bigoted management and an HR that skews legitimate claims, misrepresenting and lying in order to protect the bottom line. My advice? Stay away from employment here and also don’t show your support by shopping here either.

Pros

Good to work here while going to school

Cons

Everything breaks, nothing gets fixed or gets fixed poorly, large freezer was a death trap with all the ice in there, toilet in men's room didn't work for almost 2 months, door was cracked 4 inches open for over half a year, things are left broken, heaters in back were broken for all of January, Shirley was terrible and fake as hell screwing everyone over and taking money from stores for her own bonuses

Safeway Sucks

Pros

Great benefits, that is about it.

Cons

Horrible management, too many mangers, not enough workers. Hires everyone, many bad workers, and the good workers are pushed to accomplish tasks to the point of mental breakdown, with no regard from management. Management literally trained by corporate to be slave drivers to employees. No way to move up and make more. Lot's of infighting for positions.
