Pros

Most departments try and work with you and your schedule. There tends to be a sense of community between your co-workers

Cons

NO support from management. Totally unrealistic expectations. They do company, management and work environment surveys but nothing changes, and that is what happened throughout my 10 years working there. Fred Meyer does raises based off of hours worked, and to have received my final raise it would have taken me 25 years. And that wage was under the Portland average for my previous position. I was on the union negotiations team, and the Fred Meyer representatives laughed at us when we asked for a nickel more than what the food department received. Reason why that's sad is because the non-food departments make a $1+ less than the food department.

Pros

If you have good relationship with your manager and you can trust them to have your back, it is an amazing place to work, and you will find success easy.

Cons

If you have lost the confidence of your manager, or have bad communication with your manager, it makes it very hard to be seen and be successful.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
