Pros

You definitely can move up the ladder fast if you try, and it is also great experience to put on your resume.

Cons

I did get promoted really quickly but because I didn't know about the pay scale I was underpaid for the position I was promoted to. I even tried to talk to my union and they did absolutely nothing for me even though you pay them to stand up for you every month.

Pros

Fred Meyer/Kroger does make a strong effort to show its employees that they are an important asset to the company. The company has invested a lot of time and money to communicate goals and results to all is employees from regional supervisors to store cart pushers, which is pretty impressive. Pay is better than most of our competition. Turnover seems to be low. When promotions come open lots apply to get the positions. Helping customers and co-workers make working at Fred Meyer very satisfying.

Cons

Sometimes not always regional management can be condescending to store management and store employees. Negativity from them does affect store morale and how people think about their company as a whole.
