Pros

A very good salary. Lots of OT too.

Cons

Blatant sexism. Male counterparts are favored. Literally, one walked off the job, another refused to work a shift, both fireable offenses, but middle management told me "there is nothing we can do about it." Yet, as a woman, they don't hesitate to threaten termination, no kidding, because I allegedly did not issue a morning greeting in a cheerful enough tone to the aforementioned male's liking.

Pros

Benefits, Freds has some of the cheapest, and best coverage insurance, 401K, etc. Fred Meyer tons of Outreach programs , Race for the Cure, Junior Achievement, Relay for Life, Rake up Boise, FitOne, Stack the Bus, etc.

Cons

No work life balance. Wages are ccompetitive until you hit tenure. Than as you greet is a *wage adjustment* not even a cost of living increase. Coworkers become your family, until it doesn't benefit them. I worked here 17 years and was a divisional merchadising manager got hurt and was left to the wolves completely. 17 years of working my body to maximum capacity, really giving 110% too this job, going where ever they needed me for remodels, restructuring, even out of state for coverage for Union Contract negotiations coverage. Then told were sorry you're in your 30's, know exactly how to file a work injury, but we had no idea you got hurt and there's no evidence (video, paperwork, and employee witness statements) to back up your claim. Sorry.

Pros

Nice coworkers, and I've had great managers and the worst ever over time so depends on the store and dept.

Cons

I work at the biggest and busiest store so it's very fast paced and hard work. They really push you for speed and surveys. Gone are the days of sincere customer service. They don't care much about your home life or schedule unless you are a career person.
