Questions and Answers about Safeway

I would reward employees for working hard and try to give them at least 5 hours a day to try harder to give the employees with open availability more than 20 hours a week. Employees would be more productive with 2 days off in a row and cut down on the inconsistency of times of the day worked. Might have happier employees too. Better work performance treat them like humans not robots.

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,

The lack of unity . I've come to learn this can happen in any business .

Learning the Pharmacy Technician work.

I filled out application, was contacted about a day or two later for an interview. Went to interview the next morning, was offered on the spot after being shown around and description of duties. I accepted, did paperwork, waited for background check to come back. My background check came back about 30 mins later, due to my already being in the system as a healthcare worker. Continued with the rest of the paperwork, no drug test, told I would be contacted when to come in for training later on in the week. Was a very easy process.

U get paid weekly

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.

Went to the store filled out a paper application w/the thought Okay I'll give it a try had the interview orientation one day of training and 18 years of pure loathing of working there😠 Was so 😀when I left on September 1 2018

I had a few tasks I enjoyed and were my favorites (stress relievers) 🙂

After so many hours you get raises. It took about 6-7 years to top out as journeyman. Then from there it's basic cost of living raises. Topped out at 21.75 in California and 20.50 in Washington.
