Fred Meyer needs to listen

Divisional manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to earn a decent wage for unskilled work. I came to work for this company after dropping out of my second year of college, leaving a management career at McDonald's, and looking to advance myself with better opportunities in career path and salary. When I attempted to return to college, however, to complete a business degree, the company would not allow time for me to attend classes, nor would they reimburse for tuition, as promised.

Cons

management doesn't practice what they preach in terms of treating people right. My departments did not suffer the large employee turnovers that were seen in other departments, perhaps due to the fact that I placed all people first on my list of daily priorities, including my employees.

Fred Meyer is a good place to start in the retail world. Fred Meyer does have a lot of training classes for Managers to learn how to balance management skills and how to treat associates. There is a good benefits package and vacation and sick pay. You are also given paid holidays.

Cons

Long hours, Upper manangement does not listen to department managers and the pay could be better as the stress is of the most times out of control when your a department manager.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are many opportunities for advancement. The management is nice and understanding. The front end is unionized. It is part of the Kroger family of stores which is doing very well.

Cons

They are very busy on the weekends and cashiers don't get a break between customers for hours. Cashiers are made to sign cash shortage slips on registers they only worked on for a few minutes. Registers are shared with no individual accountability, but video surveillance helps.
