Pros
Fred Meyer's core values are amazing and many of the managers and associates are great people. At many stores there is a wonderful sense of camaraderie and teamwork.
Cons
Fred Meyer has just changed to fully embrace Kroger's management strategy and it's a disaster. They've added an entire new layer of management to our structure that lowers the pay scale of all positions below it which makes every one of those positions undesirable. My current position used to make 10k a year more than I currently do with less responsibilities than I currently have. They've also changed the way you bonus which means that a manager who used to expect a 10% bonus can now only expect around 3% before taxes are taken out.
