Fred Meyer reviews

Terrible management. They will push you to your limits. They will continue to add more and more work that isnt in your job description until you are completely overwhelmed. They will throw you under the bus without a second thought. Seriously it's a horrible environment. The management operates as a click where they are all buddies and will take advantage of any ground level employee. They are also totally incompetent and almost none of them are good at their jobs. You advance in this company by sucking up to your superiors. Work performance means nothing. If you contact your union rep about an issue they will look for reasons to fire you. They will lie to your face without a second thought.

The managers who worked in back were extremely unpleasant to be around. They avoided eye contact, barked orders, never said hello or goodbye, never gave any positive feedback. I avoided them as much as possible. Everyone seemed to accept it which was weird to me, even after one of the managers made an employee cry and then mocked her for crying. "That's just how he is" was the attitude. The expectations were impossible to meet, such as straightening every single item on the shelves in every aisle in a time period that was completely unrealistic. They trained me to be extremely precise in what to do, but I realized later that no one actually worked that way because they would never have enough time to finish the work. So why did they train me that way to begin with? It caused unnecessary stress and it felt like I was set up to fail. I asked for direct feedback and to observe the way it was supposed to be done, and I never saw anyone do what was expected of me within the time frame. My direct supervisor was very nice, but unfortunately I never saw her and was stuck working for the unpleasant male managers at night because you have little control over your schedule. It was one of the worst jobs I've ever had and I'm glad to be out of that place.
