Safeway Employer Reviews

I learned to work with food and food safety regulations as well as multitask in a very fast pace working environment. The hardest part of the job would be lack of team work and the most enjoyable part of the job is tasting new products.

Learned to follow instruction. Fast paced most of the time but it also passes the time.

New challenges that come my way every day that I worked there, Safeway/Vons molded me into the person that I am today: Confidant, independent, will power. Customers are always number one in my books and I made sure they left the store happy.

The market is competitive that its hard to go to work and deal with the day to day work day. The upper management and the customer are never happy. The company seem to want store management to do all of the management work and also everything else in the stores.

Met a lot of friends from this job.
Enjoyed the company of the customers.
Worked well with my school schedule

Wasn't challenging at all. Had a lot of downtime at work, eventually became extremely boring.

A busy atmosphere, but very rewarding. The hardest part of the job is pleasing customers.

it was a fun place to work. it felt like family most of the time. they gave me time off when needed. the pay was great. it has good ins. and benafits.

A very challenging job, ensuring that customers are satisfied starting from greeting them; the stocks at the store are well stacked and well arranged.

Team work and safety consciousness are emphasised always. The management are dynamic and supportive, and the co-workers are very warm and amiable. Nothing in the job considered too hard except where – more...  the assignment of the day has to be at the cooler (cool room) and when the volume of the stock is very large and has to be completed within a specific time limit. Meeting people with a view to assisting them and accomplishing the assignment/task of the day can be very satisfying – less

From start to finish busy,In the morning my coworkers and I retrieve the escript prescription and refills from the computers,we set up prescription labels with the medicine,the pharmacist checks the finished prescriptions then they are bagged and put in the correct bin for retrival later to the patient,the phone rings often with calls from doctors,nurses – more...  and patients,we have a register at the pharmacy where we ring up the copayments,when the pharmacy order comes in we tag it and put on the shelves where they belong,while checking inventory for any over stock medicine or expired medicine, – less

Very good company to work for its usually the management that you have to worry about.

Helping customers with their groceries. I learned to keep customers needs first, learned the right way to make their shopping experience easy. Co-workers were all very helpful. The hardest part was standing on your feet for 8 hours. the most enjoyable part was meeting new customers and getting to know the regulars

Making floral arangements, assisting shoppers cleaning, stocking, running the cash register! i learned how to make many arangements work a cash register as well as how to do inventory for certin departments. The management at highland safeway is great they are awesome fun loving people. they make you their top priority.

I have to say they do good at constantly keeping everything clean and have a good variety of people working there. But they are hard to get good hours with.

I was responsible for maintaining the proofing schedule for the Corporate Advertising Department , upkeep and maintenance of the photography database for the creative team as well as negotiated printing schedule with large printing companies. I learned how to use all office equipment, database programs, how the advertising world worked as far as scheduling – more...  and creative aspects. The hardest part of the job was that the proofs occasionally came in as late as 11pm and I was required to be available. The most enjoyable part of the job was the challenging environment. – less

Typical Day in Safeway is always busy with people wanting to get or try new items etc.

I learned how to mange my attitude with dealing with the customers and just having a good time at work as far as making sure your customer is happy.

Management is ok.

Co-workers at my job are ok to work around and they are very helpful at times.

Hardest part of – more...  my job is just the mangers and sum coworkers. – less

Very serious about providing satisfactory customer service.

good for a pay check and nothing else . Will change your scedule from 4-10s to 5-8s and tell you to bad you have to find a sitter for your kids , dont call in sick unless you bring proof from a doctor , dont expect any help from managment when possible problens come up they say"I can interpit the contract any way I want"
