Pros

There unfortunately are no pros of working for Safeway, I wouldn't recommend anyone to becoming an employee, they treat their staff like dog's, and good luck getting benefits, because they will work you to the bone yet make sure somehow your JUST under full time.

Cons

They disregard staff complaints, they dont care about the health of employee's, they belittle employee's, treat employee's as if they are uneducated and/or their punching bag, do not provide proper training IF you get any at all, over work employee's consistently, and have complete disregard to dealing with any issues that arise in the work place with new employee's; claiming that if someone cannot train them when assigned that they are at fault, meanwhile the person assigned to train was never formally trained to begin with, they are self taught employee's with help only from fellow senior staff coworkers; given they've the time to do so.

Pros

Decent pay and outstanding groceries and delicious foods Some friendly staff, some don't take you for consideration.

Cons

Standing long hours in the cash register. One of the reasons I left Safeway is not only I didnt fit in with my job responsibility, but also I didn't like the uniform I had to wear everyday to work.
