Pros

Experience Union (sometimes helpful) build strong relationships with the people you work with you will learn a lot about people

Cons

poor raises. you will have to put up with the most disrespectful people. its not always the customers that are unpleasant. your "union benefits" wont kick in for a while and when they do you wont always be covered. you have to pay a large union fee which increases with each promotion. once that fee is paid off you are still required to pay union dues which are taken out every third paycheck. if you should chose to leave Safeway, you are still being charged union dues, even if you no longer work for the company. for the work you do the payout is not worth it.

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

When it is busy, it is very busy. Lunch/Break may get pushed back or even denied in extreme cases because there is no one to cover for you.
