Safeway Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

I enjoy the actual work itself and customers are great and i do have other coworkers not in my department who are great.

i like my coworkers thats really about it

the way us managers help each other

Review from Operations Dept

The people & environment ,

I'm in the produce preparation area with my co-worker, and we get along GREAT. He's a hard worker, as am I, and he's a team player.

Review from Product Dept

Myself trying to take care of the deli to keep it clean and sanitize

We only work good when we all get all our hours 30+ other than that no one happy work at my store

In the summer it gets busy enough that it's kind of like a party atmosphere because there is a long line and we're the only place everybody is pretty good natured about it

My starbucks co worker are the best ever

Its good work. Everyones easy to get along with and we all understand what work is to be done. So it's easy to coordinate where every one works and there's no one trying to sabotage you to get a better position.

Diverse people in the community and coworkers.

The few people who know what they are doing

I MEET LOTS OF PEOPLE AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH THEM

Inclusion of diversity in employees. Customer focussed.

That when something happens we all stick together

The customer which is why we are there

Review from Operations Dept

The culture is positive, and everybody knows that hard work is how they are going to be successful and I'm all about that.

Everyone is welcoming and friendly

As employees we all help each other. If a dept. is short staffed we will help. Our regular customers are very nice. We get along, we laugh a lot and enjoy working with each other in spite of the store director.

I'm retired from another job, so I work part time at Safeway. Three days are fine for me, and it's in town, which is why I work here.

Review from Product Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

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

Everything at Safeway including lazy mangers and lying emoplees

Kroger cleaning house and replacing the current tyrants with their own. Sr mgt is beyond repair.

Clean start. Merger with Kroger and having them eliminate Sr Mgt will be the best thing ever. Kroger today is what Safeway used to be, before the acquisition.

Actually listen to employee feedback

Department manager dont have the training or attitude to handle a discussion with a team member without taking everything personally , I understand we dont have that many candidates for dep. Managers but some personal skills training can be helpful

Managment needs to change asap

Treat all fairly and the same not let certain employees get away with not doing their job promoting the right employees

EVERYTHING! Get rid of those managers who bully others! The management at the turlock location is HORRIBLE! They stress you out and wont work with your schedule!

Safeway needs to be run by people that don't exploit their workers

Review from Admin Dept

Hire enough people crack down on call outs

better work ethics, be more creative, more considerate, more on top of things. case in point, I still develop python code to help me on the job to make up for my autism.

Review from Customer Support Dept

24/7 loss prevention workers theft is horrible

Review from Sales Dept

Everyone should support new workers more, not everyone can jump in the deep end right away.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Team moral and better management

Review from Customer Support Dept

Get better people to work there.

Review from Sales Dept

Better work attitude and happier setting
