Everytime I change lanes and drive over a lane reflecttor or uneven surface, the car shakes and feels like it's sliding slide-to-side. It's quite unnerving actually. I'd rather not drive it for now.

It sounds like the shop who did the install didn't take any base measurements to get it close to aligned so it's way out of spec with all the adjustable components. Driving the car is going to get it to settle in a lot more than it just sitting there however it sounds like its so far out it's not safe to drive. You are probably best to let it set for a week have it aligned towards the outside specs to allow room for when it settles. You might just have to have it re-aligned a second time but it's not worth messing around with a safety and performance issue to save $100.
