Fred Meyer reviews

Not enough constructive feedback from some managers. Frequent manager shifts so don't get used to a particular one. The only way to move up in the company is to work at different stores so in store promotions are generally not allowed. Zones can often times be large so Zone 2 is southwest Washington and some of Portland while Zone 1 is the greater Portland area. Other zones are even larger like the Idaho/Utah or Alaska regions.

Store director needs to keep derogatory statements about employees private and to "themselves", not discussing this with on the floor associates. Screaming and yelling at employees on the floor in front of customers and saying that employees are worthless. Wow. What an example this person sets. Taking away hours, less people to do the job: if a dept. looses an employee, others have to pick up the job with less time and absolutely NO OVERTIME or one gets a reprimand with possible disciplinary actions (and this includes a minute overtime). Shortage of product is getting out of hand, cannot order product now unless it is completely out. Customer dissatisfaction and they won't come back. Always having to hunt down people to cover breaks and lunch when they are RIGHTS fought for by the union. Working without a contract for almost 2 years. Management treats lower employees like trash.
