Amazing and responsive with a heart of gold
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
talking to subordinates appropriately and treating them with dignity and respect. Workers need full-time jobs with a real living wage that neither the corporation or the union assists in providing. The vibe is very oppressive.

not having new hires get screwed in terms of scheduling. I had to work what no one else wanted to work. Also when I pointed out the customer surveys are difficult to get they threatened to demote me to courtesy clerk three times. Don't treat ur new hires like crap. Also there was no training. I was

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
They should provide full-time employment for more employees.. Retaliatory incidents occur when employees called out sick, brought a doctor's note and gets their hours the following week cut to the minimum. This also happens if they ask employees to work extra and employee says no. OPPRESIVE

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 16 days ago
I work in a unique environment small town and a big state the only store for good hundred miles. In any direction. The labor pool is small. I don't think the store has ever been fully staffed. . And some of the management does not have a clue what needs to be done to make a profit in the st9re
They have no full-time hours available for you, but they will work you full-time hours without you paying attention to it when you go to them about scheduling, they will give you the worst possible options as far as schedule go. You have to do too much to get so little.
Being paid more too much work for such little pay

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
show up on time, be cooperative, be much more prompt in helping customers
Yes every day.. love sport
Respecting each other loyalty It start with the manager of the deli when the leader shows she doesn't care how is it for her crew to respect and care if they see their leader doesn't
The coworkers at my store behave like children. They spend too much time on their phones or gossiping in order for them to even complete their day. They have to go outside and have at least 20 cigarette breaks.
Work instead of being lazy
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Review from Operations Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
same expectations for all employees
Management needs to learn to be more efficient in communication, critical thinking, less confrontational in behavior and empathy.
Managements bad attitude, and inability to address issues correctly, gossiping, laziness.
Some of the management like to gossip about employees and I don't think that's right
Im not sure what you need
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was thorough and comfortable
Review from Operations Dept · Posted 16 days ago
the interview process which I didn't really have one because I had worked for the company before but the first interaction with the store director was great she was very present and she communicated well she was respectful and happy to have me there but that was the first and the last
Calmness, understanding , able to listen, intersted, available for daialect.
I enjoyed the panel interview
Review from Operations Dept
Relaxed, if you're being interviewed, they need people.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Safeway hires anyone with pulse and no criminal record

Hiring people actually need hire people that want work. Actually have the same pay rate to every hired people
Verbage for the hiring memeber be it management better more indepth questions for possible hires not hiring like its covid
Don’t just pick the first resume off the stack and expect those people to be availab
Maybe not hyping up the store so much and tricking people into believeing its "good"
Review from Product Dept

The Smile of Interacting with Customers and getting them to understand the ins and outs of coupon savings.
Getting our production done and on the shelves! My co-worker and I both take pride in our work.
Review from Product Dept
My customers putting a smile on they face
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Stop promoting the Safeway lifers! There is a reason they spent 35+ years NOT in management they aren't capable of leading. Actually listen to your employees and customers. Often it feels like corporates never step foot in the store.

Customers see everything! For example, how employees are mistreated on a daily basis, pricing guarantee is out of control, loading more work on employees without proper raises
Everything. The pay sucks, overtime doesn't exist, people don't listen at all!
Better management better pay more hours . A new representative for my store no one doing their job right
Better pay would definitely help
What do you like best about your company?
The specials they have for the employees.
The benefits are hands down the best thing about the company.
Review from Sales Dept
Haggen is a high end grocer and we are sourcing a lot of local product
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Having management changed would be a start to improvement.
Review from Sales Dept
More hours for the crew to get a really good job done.
