Pros

Some coworkers are kind, willing to help train you and helpful. Some customers you'll build a relationship with.

Cons

Store and district management is unreasonable focused on their quarterly bonuses. Service to customers is severely lacking due to mgmt/staffing decisions. Older staff can be quite rude. Those employees who would do the job well, often are not trained or chosen for prootions. Absolutely NO work/life balance

Pros

I really have no pros, other than it was easy to get hired. But this is because the turnover is so high. Just in the 9 months I was there, probably about 10-12 employees came and left.

Cons

Grueling work, low-pay, inconsistent scheduling, inconsiderate and inept management. Safeway is owned by Albertsons, which seems to only be concerned with their bottom line at the expense of paying employees a living wage. This, of course, has led to high turnover and poor morale in the workforce. One of the worst jobs I've ever had.
