Pros

Large company with lots of scope and scale to work in. Hires from with in. Promotes good values.

Cons

Very poorly managed at the top. IT group has weak management that does not know what it is doing and wastes money. Blame shifting and politics everywhere. Internal network of time servers protect each oher over doing the right thing. Large disconnect between what it says and what it does A marketing company, over a delivery company, it is now about selling ideas that sound good but can't deliver. Many fake efforts just going through the motions..

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.
