Pluspunten

There are very few reasons to work at Safeway, one being that it looks great on a resume. The second being the 10% discount on all Safeway products.

Minpunten

Well, its nickname is Slaveway for a reason. They schedule you very little hours and expect you to get all of the jobs they assign to you done in three hours. I often would stay one hour or more over to finish my work (and I'm not slow). The whole time their complaining about how I should have it done by then. Well the reason its not done was incompetent employees the day before don't know how to do their job, so I have to do half of their job along with mine. I asked my Manager numerous times for more hours because I'm one of their better employees, did that happen? No, I ask for one day off and I get a while week off. Let me remind you that I can count on one hand the number of days I've taken off in a year. The pay is horrible because they can easily get some 16 year old dimwit off the street and he can do any job in the store. Or we can keep good employees and give them raises instead of this 50 cents an hour bonus on Sundays bulls**t. Why would I work two times harder than 3/4 of the employees in the store and still get the same pay? Safeway seriously needs to rethink their employee first profit second way of doing business. Oh, and we are REQUIRED to ask for donations to any special program that's going on or we get talked to by management and a "NO" on our shops. Ah, the things Safeway does to look good in the public eye. Needless to say there's a reason why I no-longer work there after one and a half years of hell.

Pluspunten

Friendly environment and great co-workers. Being a floral clerk was hands down my favorite customer service job I've worked. Made some nice friends working there, and the stress of work was easily handled because of the friendly people.

Minpunten

Seniority was definitely a thing. I was expected to take shifts that the other people didn't want until someone newer came along, and then I had seniority over them. Upper management for the store was also the worst. They would take credit for our department's hard work and shift blame onto us for oversights or actions on their part. Once I got promoted to admin, I saw how little they cared about their employees. They would make passing comments and openly admit to giving certain employees who were "problem people" bad shifts or deny their requests for days off. I was in charge of making the schedule and would be told not to give certain people the days they wanted that week, even if they were within their availability, just to make things difficult for them. They also don't promote from within. I was asked to be the interim manager when our manager went on maternity leave. I stepped up and took on manager duties despite not getting a pay raise. When my manager decided she wanted to move stores, she was hoping I would be given the role permanently. Instead, they decided to bring in someone from another store, and I had to train her to be a floral manager at ours. They did eventually promote me to store admin, but my passion was working in floral. I agreed on the promotion as long as I could still work in the floral department, but they eventually phased me out of that role. Literally tricked me into taking a promotion and then falling back on the terms we agreed on.
