Pros

no good reasons to work there really

Cons

They thought it was ok to pay me minimum wage and pay a male doing the same exact job over $2 an hour more (he had not been there much longer, and was only like 20 years old. I am 35 and have been working in customer service most of my working life?!?). I know for a fact I am not the only one this happens to at Fred Meyer. Their employees union went on strike for it less than 3 years ago. I thought I was worth at least $14 an hour :(

Pros

Fast paced work environment! We're a family! Feed the human spirit! $5 (Five Dollar) Coupons for Christmas bonus.

Cons

Undercuts your wages, awful pay for non-leads, uses abusive tactics to get you to work longer than you are able. Understaffed with no relief in sight. Punishes you for having a life and tries to call you in on every day off. I had worked here for a while and worked really hard and got promoted to a shift lead. I will not say my department because then I can be identified, but it was not stocking shelves. I got promoted to shift lead at a whopping $16.70 (this was before they upped the wages after I left). They claimed my wage was a typo multiple weeks later and offered me $16.30 or termination. I made the mistake of accepting that. Do not make the same mistake I did working for this location that tries to undercut hard workers who have children.
