Safeway Employer Reviews

I worked for Safeway in various positions and worked in many parts of the province. My wife and myself had to relocate due to medical reasons and I am now looking for part time employment.

Learned to improve the shopping experience of the customer while continuing to exceed customer expectations.

At Safeway I was able to develop my skills as a Customer Service representative and leadership skills.I was in charge of the front end.I had to ensure that everything was running smooth and looking fantastic.I also was able to get experience in the bakery,we had a display case that I would set up in the morning with fresh baked items.

Most of the people I worked with were fun however my hours were all over the place and they don't allow people to take certain days off

I learnt a lot about Safeway in that it was good for me and I worked with fun people. I did enjoy it.

Enjoyed working here.
Miss my co-workers as they were always willing to help.

I had a great time working in this organization, the co-workers were easy to get along with, I learned about ordering and inventory while working here, management was good. the hardest part of the job was the hours, varied.

I love working with people this job was easy to learn and best of all I got to work the deli on my own.

This job as a cashier is repetitive and hard on the back, I enjoy the customers most of the time. Our manager is really great but he has little say in what transpires. I like my co-workers but the politics are a bit much. I stay out of it. The hardest part of the job is the repetition and lack of variety in the job. The best part is getting to know – more... the customers. – less

During my days volunteering at Safeway I learned my creative side. I learned how to decorate flowers, make bouquets, help customers, make fruit baskets and make little creations such as swans and unforgetables. My co-workers were fun and very nice to me. On my last day the gave me a big bouquet or flowers and told me to apply as a florist or cashier. – more... The hardest part of the job was cutting my fingers when decorating flowers. I enjoyed working with my co-workers and making so many different kinds of creations. – less

So long as you're willing to do your job everyone (employees, management and even customers) lets you know you're appreciated.

Being a cashier @ Safeway is fast-paced and the shifts go by very quickly; the other cashiers are fun to work with. Management is pretty good and are easy to talk to and get along with. Unfortunetly, since it's based on seniority, there isn't alot of room for advancement or increase in hours and they are very inflexible about working around my schedule – more... (ie: my spouse is now working night shifts & we have no babysitter for late nights); since I'm unable to work late nights anymore, Safeway wants to cut my hours even though I'm not getting alot of hours.
The most enjoyable part of the job is meeting new people working w/the friendly job. The hardest part of the job is all the shift work and never knowing what shifts you are working the following week (since they're never the same). – less

Safeway is a great place to work. I learned customer service skills, time and effiency skills.

This is just a typical survival work. Good standard management.

i wasnt there long due to moving back to ontario but i recommend working for safeway to everyone

Part time job helping people with whatever they needed. ie. finding certain items in-store and processing product refunds and recycled bottle returns.

Had 5 very good years at Safeway. Made some good friends, Grew as a person and worker. I was very disappointed to leave!

It has been too long since I worked at Safeway. I cannot remember it too well.

The most enjoyable part of the job was when it was fast paced and the shifts went by quickly. I liked talking to and serving the customers and being able to make them smile. I learned customer service and enjoyed my job, the only thing i disliked was when they cut my hours to employ new hires and i was only receiving 9 hours in a 2 week period.

Being my first job allowed me to learn how to become comfortable with customers and being able to manage my time better.

coworkers and management provided me with a helping hand whenever needed and was always friendly.
