Busy store keeps employees working toward a goal.

They don't like disabled who can only work 20-24 hours a week, claiming "not flexible" even though I was available any day any time of day. What???

Pros

Discount, 401 K, Vacation, Personal Days

Cons

Management too many chiefs in top positions and not enough associates to help complete tasks. Good luck if you earn vacation or personal days as a manager they will most likely be denied and they don't roll over so you will end up loosing your personal days. Would not recommend because you will spend every waking moment in the store and what you do will still not be good enough! Here are some words of advice run the other way not a good company has gone down hill! The department managers are overworked and under appreciated...associates have more rights because they are protected by the union so if you must make sure you have yourself protected.

Pros

Fred Meyer's core values are amazing and many of the managers and associates are great people. At many stores there is a wonderful sense of camaraderie and teamwork.

Cons

Fred Meyer has just changed to fully embrace Kroger's management strategy and it's a disaster. They've added an entire new layer of management to our structure that lowers the pay scale of all positions below it which makes every one of those positions undesirable. My current position used to make 10k a year more than I currently do with less responsibilities than I currently have. They've also changed the way you bonus which means that a manager who used to expect a 10% bonus can now only expect around 3% before taxes are taken out.
