Pros

- Store discounts! Discounts! Discounts! - Coworkers are great to work with. - Upper management is normally understanding and respectful of their employees. - They will work around your class schedule. - Movement upwards is possible. - Union protection.

Cons

- Union dues are $150 to start. - There is no free coffee! - Pay is not that high. Tips are also not allowed for the Starbucks proportion because Fred Meyer technically rents the Starbucks name and you are a Fred Meyer employee. Fred Meyer does not allow employees to be tipped. - Sometimes they will keep someone on staff who should be let go. - Insurance is not given to part time employees. - Training can be minimal at times.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
