Pros
You get plenty of arm and leg exercise as a parcel clerk pushing carts. Plenty of opportunities to interact with customers, be cheerful to them and most will be happy and thank you. If it's a sunny day, 1-2 days before a holiday, or word hits that there might be a storm coming, more customers will come in, which means there's more people coming in and doing business. Managers are usually prompt about their 90-day reviews, their 6-month reviews, and their 1-year reviews; you'll get a review within 1 or 2 weeks of hittin g that milestone.
Cons
Fred Meyer forbids employees from accepting tips. Parcel clerks have to put back groceries from the backs of checkstands to a shelving unit (non-perishables like cereal, flour, canned goods) which is dumb since not many parcel clerks know where everything goes like anyone in the food department does. Parcel clerk job is minimum wage - look to change positions if you want a raise. If you're in school looking for a part-time 12-hour job don't be surprised if they initially schedule you on 20-26 hrs / week; we don't have very many parcels. If it's a sunny day, 1-2 days before a holiday, or word hits that there might be a storm coming, more customers will come in, which means there's more people coming in and taking the carts and leaving them all over the parking lot and sometimes outside the parking lot.
