Pros

Decent pay with great insurance due to union contract.

Cons

Terrible District and Upper management, they're mostly clueless and out of touch with reality. You will work every holiday and most Sundays, and not get paid any extra for doing it. Store management are mostly disrespectful and somehow think they are better than everyone else, forgetting they too work at a grocery store.

Pros

Nice Benefit packages for employees

Cons

Management can be too distant from the workforce. Larger organizations suffer from losing a personal touch with their staff. Albertsons / Safeway treats their staff like a number, and unless you are a part of the Original Safeway team from 1995 and older then it is very tough to break into the click. Since the Albertsons acquisition this click has gotten even more exclusive

Pros

Union shop. Guaranteed work. Dedicated workforce. Central location. Good products. Three shifts to accommodate all work hours. Great maintenance staff.

Cons

Management was all a result of nepotism, and the whole Bakery was mismanaged. Numerous great employees fired by supervisors who had and held grudges.
