Pros

Fred Meyer's core values are amazing and many of the managers and associates are great people. At many stores there is a wonderful sense of camaraderie and teamwork.

Cons

Fred Meyer has just changed to fully embrace Kroger's management strategy and it's a disaster. They've added an entire new layer of management to our structure that lowers the pay scale of all positions below it which makes every one of those positions undesirable. My current position used to make 10k a year more than I currently do with less responsibilities than I currently have. They've also changed the way you bonus which means that a manager who used to expect a 10% bonus can now only expect around 3% before taxes are taken out.

Pros

They had descent benefits I suppose.

Cons

Not professional. Prevented my from having proper breaks and yelled mentioning I had not taken my lunch (near the end of my shift). Over worked. Underpaid. Not worth it.

Pros

Store 613-Federal Way Boise, Idaho There were a few managers in different dept.'s other than my own who were civil and even nice. The HR's were always cordial and tried to find solutions to any issues. There are health benefits, 401k, and paid vacation.

Cons

Don't work in CCK-Cashiering. It was the worst customer service job I have ever had. Management basically bullied anyone they didn't like. Multiple people walked out and quit. Bringing up concerns with management was pointless-there was no initiative to resolving situations with civility and forget about any compromises/solutions. If you are a student, Fred Meyer is inflexible when it comes to your availability. There is no room for advancement like they promise because the positions are already filled and managers are more likely to promote their friends than hard working employees. They say they encourage and support their employees in acquiring degrees that they can apply toward company positions but good luck finding a manager that cares about your future dreams in the company or university for that matter. If you made friends with other dept. managers or employees then it was easier to transfer over to somewhere else. Good luck if they don't like you. No amount of hard work will get you anywhere.
