      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Left with no supervision's for most the time. Cool coworkers

      Cons

      No communication between the deli manger and the closing shift because manager works: 4am-12:30, but has a meeting with store managers the last 40 minutes of the day. The 2 closers come in at 12 and 1pm. Often to a passive aggressively written note about specific stuff that need to be done, or something they did wrong the night before. Manager DOES NOT work anytime besides 4am-12:30, and is not good at confrontation/management..

      I had a great experience working at Safeway. The management team was supportive, and my coworkers made every shift enjoyable. The company provides a structured work environment with clear expectations, and I appreciated the opportunities for growth and development. The flexible scheduling was a plus, and I always felt valued as an employee. Overall, Safeway is a great place to work for anyone looking for a positive and team-oriented environment!

      Pros

      The work's easy where it doesn't really feel like you have to work that hard. Barely any physical labor compared to other roles in the store.

      Your hours can be based on how well the store is doing, Your manager can be the difference between night and day, depending on their personality.

      Good Attempt

      Night crew manager
      Former employee
      Auburn, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The store management had done what they could when the night crew needed help. Each department was looking out for each other as the morning would start and there was a good amount of teamwork.

      Cons

      There are not many new people that rotate into the night crew so they have some of the same people that have been there for 10 years, 20 years, and 45 years. The problem there is that they are aware that if they do not want to do something that is needed then they won't have to and there is no getting fired or suspended since the we cant afford to lose anyone. As manager I was seen as the enemy and if I needed something done then I had to do it myself most of the time. They always talked about wanting the store to be ready and stuff but they only did the bare minimum and if there was a change then that was for me to handle. Toxic work environment.

      Decent entry level union job

      Pros

      Unionized Guaranteed raises Upward mobility Health and dental benefits Pension Plan

      Cons

      Shift work. Safeway is open 7am-11pm everyday. When they say they have flexible scheduling, it means that you will be scheduled with a high degree of variability within your range of flexibility. Sunday availability is mandatory.
