Pros

Flexible hours if your dept. manager likes you. Pay is not up to par for Portland for same jobs.

Cons

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.

Pros

Our Director Bill Phelan is wonderful to work with. Head department management are great to work with too. Watch our for hr

Cons

Half the store is non union. A little unfair when most of the Western Washington Fred Meyer (Kroger) are union. Would like to get more hours working at other stores but most of them are union and our department isn't.
