Pros

Great Health Insurance coverage. Employee discounts throughout Fred Meyer Corp. Monday-Friday work hours in Corporate office.

Cons

After Ed Dayoob retired the new management team lead by Pete Engel has managed to fire, demote or push out all of the people who helped Ed build the company to the 3rd largest in the US from a grocery store base. All the knowledge and talent is now gone and you just have Operations people running the show with no Merchandising experience. Don't voice an opinion or concern or you will be targeted as not being a team player. Just shake your head in agreement to whatever Management is saying or you will be out the door. The company used to be highly respected in the industry, but now they are just considered a joke. So sad to see such a Cinderella story go down in flames! Shame on you.

Pros

People were mostly friendly; direct supervisor was great, attentive, willing to help; lots of opportunities for freebies; good discount on jewelry; 10% off Kroger brand groceries; accumulated sick time even as a seasonal employee; extremely amusing posts on company-wide Viva Engage

Cons

Weirdly intense response to using Teams to talk with coworkers about non-work topics; extremely Christian-centric company, did not necessarily feel comfortable there as a non-Christian; could ask questions of leadership in weekly email, but questions were met very defensively, showing no real interest in addressing employee concerns; extreme sticklers for being on time and clocking in and out; no metal allowed, meaning you will have to buy a lot of new clothing; lots of downtime with no real direction on how to fill it; no cell phones allowed (because of metal).
