Safeway Employer Reviews

You learn from your mistakes and you obviously grow from them to become a more proficient and responsible worker. The employees were tolerable, some more than others. I enjoyed my time there and had fun working with such interesting people. Along the way I gained new stories to tell and new skills that I will take with me to every job.

I liked working for safeway everyone is helpful n nice to me when I work there.

I work at Safeway for two years. it was fun place to work and it work out with school.

The actual job at Safeway was awesome. I believe the cashiers hired when the new Hilo store opened were hired just for that purpose, because we all got laid off at the end of our probation period. I gladly took on additional hours and worked the shifts that nobody else really wanted. It would have been fine if management would have explained from the – more... beginning that this was a temporary hire. That way we could have planned accordingly. But alas...we were just kind of hung out to dry. – less

It was my first job and i think i expected more than there was. I really didnt have much of a choice when it came to advancement.

A typical day would include greeting customers and asking if they needed help finding anything and bagging their groceries. I also helped with taking out trashes around the store, sweeping the entire sales floor, and cleaning the restrooms for a clean and healthy place to shop. I learned alot of great Customer Service skills like always smile, be patient, – more... customers are always right, and always be professional. The management was not great at all. The Manager never interacted with the employees so he couldnt understand what any of us were having trouble doing. The assistant managers couldnt stay organized and always picked favorites between the office employees and the floor employees. Co- workers were always inconsiderate of others who had to finish others mess. The hardest part of the job was communicating with certain employees. Everyone chose favorites and let others get away with alot, there was more friendships then there were co workers. The most enjoyable part was when a customer would ask for you and only want you to help them and the relationship I had from meeting them their. – less

worked in the Bakery packaging bakery goods, cleaned stocked bakery for the following day. Assisted customers.

I worked there part time while I went to school. This isn't my type of work environment, but it was ok.

Good first job, work around school hours. Union job but can be hard to juggle between home and work.

Safeway was, by far and large, an excellent company to work for. Had it not been for a huge commuting distance and some personal issues, I would probably still be working for them gladly. The only drawbacks are that, like most large corporations, they have very unrealistic expectations for shrink and payroll expenses, and their customer service program – more... is a little over-weaning, often at the expense of being more convenient or providing better prices. – less

engage with customers and make sure their needs are me
good customer service
management works with school schedules
coworker's are like family
the hardest pat of the job is high customer volume
engaging with and meeting new people

I would pull and inventory the out dated product, order supplies as needed, make production for next day, bake product for the day, do monthly inventory. the hardest part of the job was the fact that we stayed short handed all the time. the best part of the job was the great crew I did have.

was very fun place to work for got to be social with coworkers and customers

I enjoyed my job in Special Education.
The teacher I worked with was awesome.
I learned alot every day.

Learned how to counter balance work responsibilites with customer service.

My review to this job Is excellent. The reason why I say that Is because I had to learn how to be patience with my customers when they were on the floor or whn they are In line to pay for their groceries.

A work day at Safeway consist of coming in on time for my shift, checking in and get updated everyday on the store's standings. Most of the shift consist of cashiering and bookkeeping while delivering superior customer service. Everyday I learn different effective ways to communicate with others, increase sales as well as learn how to manage a store – more... a little each day. – less

A typical day at work consisted of preparing the deli for customers.
Preparing the salad bar, hot food bar, meat and cheese bar, cooking hot foods, making sandwiches, customer service.
I learned to make food trays, excellent customer service, cook fried foods, how to make different types of sandwiches.

A typical day is me usually providing customer service for customers

I Believe that creating a postive atmosphere in the work place is the key to success.
