Pros

The associates and customers are awesome. They make it a fun place to work.

Cons

Kroger has owned Fred Meyer for a while, but over the past few years, Kroger has been bringing Fred Meyer more in line with other Kroger companies and has destroyed the culture of Fred Meyer. They now want to run the stores with as little staffing as possible, which means very little customer service; so stressed out overworked employees and unhappy customers. They're simply banking on the convenience of one-stop shopping and low prices to bring customers in. They are losing great and loyal long-term employees and customers as well.

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
