Business outlook
Pros
Decent hours and conditions, guaranteed pay raises based on how many hours you've worked, good employee discount.
Cons
Conservative dress code, mismanagement, schedule constantly in flux, low hours and pay, and the union. I support unions, but the local union in my area of California is taking 80$ a month from my check and I'm getting worse hours, holiday pay, and conditions than my friend who works at Walmart. The union is good in some places like Seattle, and quite bad in others. The union is better if you plan to work for safeway for a number of years, but if you're just looking for a year or two stepping stone, look elsewhere.
