Safeway Careers and Employment

Hire way more people so that people are actually only working 4 10-hour days a week as promised, instead of 6 days 10-16 hours each day. At the very least, sticking with the schedules as printed, no surprises.

I waited two hours for my interview from the time it was scheduled til I actually went in the back. The only reason I waited was because I was told I had the job. And I did get hired. But two hours!!!

The health coverage is the worst one. Premiums has gone up so much that Safeway employees can not effort it. They just don’t pay them . As result it ruins their credit. As a result; we don’t qualify for buying a home or to get a refi. The good old days are gone,

I interviewed today and was offered the position. Still need to complete the pre-employment background check, and maybe the online process will tell of a upcoming drug test- but at the in person interview with hiring manager I was not drug tested.

Mouth swab

It was a mouth swab, which can usually still detect the recent usage of marijuana.

Went to job fair, position I wanted at the store I was hoping to work at was already filled. So left the job fair with no job but was told to just wait til Monday and they’ll do something for me. Next day comes and they actually opened another spot for the position I wanted! Was interviewed over the phone and got the offer. Did my background check and got cleared literally within seconds. I go in on Monday for onboarding, got called Friday so it was really quick!

Since a lot of the tasks and duties required from Store Management at Safeway include store operations such as inventory management and cash handling, corporate would most likely promote from within or select a candidate with retail experience (of some kind).

Bad. Courtesy clerks with the longest seniority rarely get over twenty hours a week. I myself am lucky if I get over 10. They've also cut deli's and night shift's hours considerably at my store.

Not at all

5 hours. Sometimes that's my entire week.
