Pros
Co-workers become almost family, fairly simple/easy work just physically demamding, job security.
Cons
No help -one person job. The "threes a crowd guarantee" is an extremely foolish and dim witted promise, due to the fact that zero extra hours were given to any Safeway location and zero overtime is ever allowed. This forces mainly dairy during the day and frozen at night to "back-up check" for quite a significant part of their shift (30min. to 1 hr. +) Remember Diary and Frozen are the only single person positions in the store and they are, 90% of the time, the ONLY "backup" checkers? The fact that the top level of the company ensured this to customers and told the store managers to "figure it out" without any more hours also solidifies the fact that they're greedy and idiotic beyond repair. The dairy/frozen managers are expected to face, date-check, order, manage incoming firms, change end bases each week, breakdown loads containing every other departments load (no help from them), organize freezer, do BRI's, Inventory, and back up check at 32 hrs/week? It's ludicrous. The Safeway motto should be "Do a ton more, faster -with a lot less"
