Pros

I shop here and live up the street and I can't get a call in for a interview although I have a GED, a clean record, trade school and no tattoos.

Cons

I've applied for all positions for two Fred Meyer in Salem Oregon. On commercial st and market. It's distressing to me that all my applications were responded to as we are not accepting you. Total of 11 . Then day's later I see the still hiring for the position I was denied. It's not rocket science to work a register or bake in the bakery and I know how to pump gas.
