Pros

-there were none, that's how much this department and job sucks.

Cons

I worked 40 hours a week and requested that I work less and it wasn't given to me. The Deli is the worst department to work in at that store. If you are to work at Safeway, I would recommend produce or clerk. Many of my friends that worked as clerk for a couple of months got promoted to checker while I was stuck at the Deli. Everyday, you can expect a long line and sometimes customers complaining to your face and then proceeding to tell the manager which gets them a free meal. They refuse to hire more people to work there. People quit faster then they can hire because it is that bad. I have seen people quit working their first friday.

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

Cons

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.
