Pros

Fred Meyer hires some of the coolest people who enjoy working. There are a lot of benefits, like discounts, insurance, saving plans, etc. They also are in connection with some companies to provide discounts on new cars, trips, and will even help pay with schooling.

Cons

INSANE expectations. Employees who have been working in this position for 5 years, still fail to miss deadlines, yet management expect newer employees to meet that same deadline in less time. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. You have a decent hourly wage, but there are times when it is no where near enough. This is a physically demanding job that leaves you hurting and sore every night. Customers sometimes expect you to have decorating qualities like the show Cake Boss, and will throw a fit if you say no to some outrageous cake designs, that are not possible for a grocery store bakery.

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
