Fred Meyer Employer Reviews

I have worked for Fred Meyer for 3years and I have loved every moment. I Have worked for two other retail outlets and they don't come close to Fred Meyer. I have always felt encouraged to be myself. I have created lasting friendships with many of my coworkers and I always feel supported. I also enjoy creating relationships with my customers. I absolutely – more... love my job!!!! – less

My days at work are filed by the same tasks. Everyday is the same which is good because you always know what is expected but it can also be monotonous. There is always price changing, stocking, customer service, and supervising a team. My team members are hard workers and nice people. Management is decent but they do not seem to care much for their – more... employees. Their sole interest is getting the job done at any cost. However, they are willing to help sometimes if you ask. The hardest part of the job is trying to ignore the monotony and get all of the tasks done in the day with less and less time and help. The most enjoyable part of the job are the people. The people who work here are hard working and very fun. They make each day working there fun. – less

Job was good, enjoyed being able to move into different departments and learn new things.

Learning what goes on behind the lines in the food industry.Sales are driven by weather and holidays.

I worked in the produce and grocery sections. I would remove product that was rotten or broken and replace it with product that was sell-able. I worked with other people in the same department who were nice and friendly. Communication skills were important to know what we had and what we needed to order for the future.

We were what you would call a test store. We had new management is seemed every few months, for a long period we had no management. On any given day you were given multiple tasks and sometimes included managers work. I enjoyed working with my co-workers, we were all up to face the challenges. Even though we were the highest grossing store we all made – more... the place work.

The hardest part was having to deal with the remodel. You would be talking to a customer and all of a sudden a buzz saw would go on. Our customers were pretty awesome, we would stand there until the saws or drills would quit and go about talking business. I really enjoyed working with our customers.

My regulars or our customers in general were really the most enjoyable part of the job. My last week a lot of them brought me flowers from their garden and put it on my car with little thank you notes. It was a wonderful send off. – less

Deli clerk is a boring position. It smells like fried chicken. Once in the deli, it is easy to transfer to a different dept. though. The barista part of the job is fun

I miss working there, but I definitely do not miss the pay. But it was fun.

Not always a fan of the corporate level of the company but at the store level people seem to care about customers and coworkers, and that helps out alot.

I stayed with Fred Meyer for a very long time and was able to move up the company ladder.
I learned a lot about the industry on multiple different levels.
I interacted with different departments on a regular basis, such as merchandisers, buyers, planners, IS, HR, ad proofers, you name it!
I worked with many talented and loyal employees and we supported – more... each other every day.
I was fortunate to have several great managers as they came and went or if I was changing positions. They trusted me and allowed me to be responsible for my job without micromanaging me.
The most enjoyable part of my job was the collaboration on different projects and seeing it through to the end. It's rewarding to see your work come to life and be implemented in the real world. – less

With most Fred Meyer stores employing about 200 or more people, it can be difficult to get to know everyone. Overall, Fred Meyer does a decent job picking out its crew, most of their employees are hard working people who genuinely want to help. Fred Meyer has a wide array of position, all varying in different degrees of difficulty, some are ver technical – more... and tedious and some just require you to work as fast as possible. Unfortunately the management in my region is in a state of flux currently, there seems to be a constant shuffle with the upper level management, which can really hinder some of the bigger decisions that need to be made, such as hiring and firing employees. Overall Fred Meyer is a good and I would recommend it to friends and family as a viable place of employment. – less

A typical day at work consists of me scanning items and bagging them as fast as one can go. I also maintain a comfortable conversation with customers so multitasking is definitely a high priority. At times I must also communicate with management and so the conversation skills are enhanced when I must explain to management and to customers what is going – more... on. – less

Fred Meyer is a great company to work for you get frequent raises based on the number of hours you work and it is not hard to transfer from one area to the next. Having said that management is the worst I have come across they have no respect for the employees. It was a very hard chance to ever see a manager jump into action instead of sitting at their – more... desk avoiding it all. – less

In my 9 years at Fred Meyer I primarily opened the self serve u-scan check out and very much enjoyed the customers that I came to know during my time there. Each department was very much separated from the others making it hard to form professional relations with anybody other than those working the front end where I worked. General Management spent – more... little time communicating directly with the non-management employees only ever acknowledging department managers which left me feeling extremely detached from the "Fred Meyer Team" concept they tried to incorporate. – less

I worked there for almost 6 years and applied to advancement multiple times but was never given the chance.

I love this place. i grew alot. I learned a lot. Working here i took on Pic responsibilites, great place to grow, I recived several customer service award, would mind returning, with a consistent scheudule

Would get to work sort the clothing make sure all fixtures looked good, most coworkers were pleasant the management was ok. If I would have gotten more then 12 hours a week I would have stayed.

Started at midnight and worked until 8:30 in the morning. the people I worked with were a fun group and got the job done. Learned to order shipments and receive them when they came in.

I like working with the public and while I attended school took a job that would help support my family and I. I love the people I worked with. Gain a lot of knowledge of how work in a deli, with ordering, customer service. Hardest part was the physical labor involved.

A typical work day included customer service, and clearing shipments. I learned how to communicate with other stores to locate products. Management was not the best. I had a manager who took out his anger on his co-workers. Hardest part of the day was cleaning up after customers. Most enjoyable part of the job was working with friends.
