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