Pros

I wish I could come up with a Pro or two. All I can say is they are a big company with benefits.

Cons

Very poor and in some cases nonexistent company and job onboarding processes. It was a sink or swim work group. Top down, command and control, micro management old school style that inhibited creativity, innovation, and operational excellence. There was a lot of spying and back stabbing as people felt threatened in their job. Management talked a good talk but did not walk the walk. The Safeway merger had deep scars and culture wars that made it impossible to work cross functionally. Yet management put huge pressure and made you accountable to work in this dysfunctional environment. There were too many clicks and silos to gain value from an enterprise perspective.

Pros

good pay rate, associate discount on groceries, mostly good techs

Cons

Zero work life balance, unless you live to work. "Training" screams of "I don't care". They brag about how GREAT their pharmacist training is, but that was 20 years ago, today their 4 week great training has been shoved into ONE week of on-the-job training with zero follow up or concern that you can't possibly learn all you need in that time, then they shove you out the door. Training during a cyberattack that has nothing working? That's fine, you don't get any extra time despite the fact that you can't learn on a non-working system. Management BS is deep, such as "we want our employees to know why decisions are made" then no way to ask and none of the low level managers has any freaking clue as to why changing an address in the database was changed from just overtyping it to a 5 minute process of logging into a poorly written website to update - and you thought we were bad about it before! And they ask for feedback an entire ONCE a year, with no way of providing it before.
