Pros
Safeway is a strong company where you don't have to fear being laid off if you are in the core groups of marketing or finance. Work hours are reasonable,but it is difficult to get time off for things such as Dr. appointments or personal affairs. Those who are talented and motivated can be promoted quickly away from entry level.
Cons
The industry and company practices are well developed and this is not the place for creativity or "go-getters". Your benefits are surprisingly insufficient for such a large company who claims to do good things for humanity. No 401K matching and very low salaries compared to exact jobs outside of Safeway.
