Pros

Benefits Vacation Sick leave 4 floating holidays Promote from within

Cons

Micro-managed a lot Too many bosses to report to that are not on the same page Think like an owner, but follow our cookie cutter way. Way too many audits, that management cares about results eventhough they know it doesn't benefit company or customers

Pros

Nothing at all, only work at Safeway if you're about to be literally homeless

Cons

Genuinely hellish work environment. Management is lazy and absent, customers are the most disrespectful and clueless I have ever encountered. Complete unrealistic labor allocation and expectations. As a PIC, I have to run 9 SCO robots, unlock cases for customers, perform transactions at Customer Service, and answer external phone calls. Customers rightly get frustrated at the complete lack of care by corporate, and take it out on employees.
