      Fred Meyer is a great place to work - with exceptions

      Pros

      Fred Meyer has a great corporate structure, with good people in place from top to bottom. They treat their employee's well, offer good incentives, have tons of resources and invest money back into their stores with regular remodels, product upgrades and innovative ways to make the customer experience better.

      Cons

      While Fred Meyer has many good programs in place, Kroger (who owns Fred Meyer) likes to screw with things a little bit. Often, they implement new programs or ways of doing things that just don't fit wor work well in Fred Meyer. Fred Meyer also provides slightly below average pay and does not have good work/home balance support.

      Pros

      This is a fun store to work at, it has everything! It's like shopping and working at the same time. I worked in the home and housewares department. It was nice to not have to go to the back to get stock, you only downstock from the top shelf so you can take care of your customers and be out on the floor the whole time. If I could I would have stayed there to work! I loved Fred Meyer!

      Cons

      I didn't like that they switch your schedule every week and you don't know when you would be working until the week before. Wished I could have stayed and not gotten laid off because Christmas was over. I was a temporary seasonal employee. They just didn't have a position for me at that time and I would have had to wait till spring to get hired back.

      Pros

      Consistent stable company vacation time, sick pay, pension for vested union members, 401k for all employees, employee stock purchase plan, stock options to salaried employees, annual performance evaluations, bonuses in some management positions. Major medical, dental, and vision. Life Insurance for salaried employees. regional favorite retailer with great stores and products modernized logistics and systems with continuous improvement private label brands in general merchandise and food keep business price competitive Company motto and goals are clear and achievable Stated goal is to make it a fun creative place to work and efforts are made in most business units to create that environment.

      Cons

      Work Life balance as a stated value. If you're management, you are expected to breath Fred Meyer. Some years there are no seasonal hires - get it done with the same staff and twice the volume of merchandise and customers in the store. Urban store conditions are a constant battle -- Customers abuse merchandise, restrooms, restaurant area, throw stuff on the floor, etc. Upper Management values cookie cutter approach to operations, personality of neighborhood or creativity in merchandising or product assortment is not highly valued.
