Pros

Excellent pay and benefits for both union and non-union (management) employees.

Cons

Grocery retail has become a volatile industry. Innovation, new competition (Amazon/ Lidl/ Aldi) and the widening range of customers needs has narrowed the profit margin to mere pennies. Employees are pushed to their limits on a daily basis. There is no time or money for comprehensive training so the company is pouring personnel into the management meat grinder to see who comes out the other side. Extremely low morale and no job security. Clicklist, driverless delivery, and stores with no personnel (Amazon in Seattle has a store with no checkers) beg the question: what will the grocery industry be in 20 years? 10 years? Even 5 years? Not recommended for people looking for a career, highly recommended for people looking for a job.

Pros

Fred Meyer hires some of the coolest people who enjoy working. There are a lot of benefits, like discounts, insurance, saving plans, etc. They also are in connection with some companies to provide discounts on new cars, trips, and will even help pay with schooling.

Cons

INSANE expectations. Employees who have been working in this position for 5 years, still fail to miss deadlines, yet management expect newer employees to meet that same deadline in less time. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. You have a decent hourly wage, but there are times when it is no where near enough. This is a physically demanding job that leaves you hurting and sore every night. Customers sometimes expect you to have decorating qualities like the show Cake Boss, and will throw a fit if you say no to some outrageous cake designs, that are not possible for a grocery store bakery.
