This is the worst company I have ever worked for. After I was hired, I was require to attend a three day "orientation", which was basically three days of viewing their incredible surveillance system and getting several lectures about what would happen if you were caught stealing. They treat their employees like criminals before they even start work. I then completed their cashier training program and was asked to cover a register. I informed the lead, that I might need more cash in my register after cashing a payroll check and would let her know. She slipped $300.00 into a drawer below the register while I was away from the register and did not inform me it was there. The next day I was pulled into the manager's office and full on accused of stealing the $300.00 cash before they even reviewed the surveillance cameras. Once they finally reviewed the tapes from the previous day, they discovered the money was right where the lead had left it. No apologies were made to me, and every other cashier glared at me as if I was a thief for the remainder of my employment. I even spoke with the corporate office who did not seem to care about this sort of slander coming from the managers of their Ellensburg, WA store.

Also, this company has their pay periods set up where they can work you as many days in a row as they like without a day off and without a single minute of overtime.

Be careful applying for employment here, you might regret it!

fred meyer management is just WRONG. i had a manager for 7 years who had narcissistic personality disorder and screamed at me on the floor, he picked out favorites including a PIC who sent people home for looking at her "funny".

the favoritism threw the department into an uproar. but i don't feel badly towards them because they would trust him and the minute they weren't feeding his ego properly he would rip into them like a shark. he gave me terrible reviews. they had to go back to my previous manager to find a good one.

finally his regional manager got fired for sexual impropriety, he got a new one and so they transferred him to another store.

he had problems there so there so corporate came around to start taking statements on his behaviour. i don't know if he is still with the company.

They are just warning you what will happen if you got caught stealing so you don't go around and claim

you were never warned. It is mostly for blacks anyway, they get caught stealing they get fired automatically, they play the race card because their white coworker came in late several times and only got written up.

Basically they don't want you to claim you were never warned about the consequences. Also I am sure they did not accuse you of theft, if they did you would have been fired, they were just asking you because as a cashier your job is to keep track of the money.

Missing $300 is a big deal and needs to be investigated. You have a lot of growing up to do before applying for another job.

I have to say all these people are mostly liars and probaly work for greedy corperate walmart to take advantage of the sheeple unlike good ole freddy meyer. People wake up and smell the coffee or you'll be buying your coffee with all the poor breeders who shop at walmart.

I don't work for walmart or fred meyer, but with your poor spelling and your ASSumption that people work for companies you are six years old. Does mommy know you are online.

If she does have mommy read my posts defending other companies since at six you are not capable yourself. If you are over the age of six you are probably the poor person living off welfare because no one would hire a retard like yourself who cannot spell simple first grade words.

you have no right to say that. each store is different and im sure they all have issues.

the store i was at did pick favoritism but not to go home. you need to do this, this and that while other employees arent told to do anything. it was ran like a dictatorship do as i say, not as i do.

You are trying to defend something that you know nothing about. Your probaboly the type of person that runs there mouth not thinking how it will be taken or what affect it has oh wait now im being like you

I just quit there after working there for 2 years and 3 months and I have to say that there are some managers that just make the whole work day drag on. They were so rude and always had to be right.

Example: I was at the front end cash register cleaning my stand when I had no customers. This particular pic comes up to me and says you need to be standing out front to pull in customers! About a week later, remembering what she had said and being the same pic, I was standing out front fishing for some customers and she said when you don't have customers you need to be cleaning your register! HA!

Talk about a control freak. I don't think anyone could make her happy. Oh and if you work in CCK, being front end cashiering, I don't advise you to agree to be USCAN trained unless you can handle the managers yelling at you for not pulling, which is all they freaking care about. Once you get sucked into USCAN it's hard to get out of it.

I'm 28 weeks pregnant, and USCAN is stressful, you have impatient customers go through all *** day getting mad every time the screen locks up for 5 seconds and they all believe that they should be helped first. Well I'm sorry but I can't help 6+ people all at once. Just impossible. Not to mention me being pregnant doesn't help my patience level.

Not only does lots of customers get mad at you there but there's the managers yelling at you to pull, meaning asking customers to come to USCAN, and we have to keep it clean over there. I tried to get out of the USCAN position since I was around 10 weeks pregnant, and they said they'll train new people, but guess where I still was 99% of the time until I finally quit? USCAN! Very inconsiderate management.

I needed to be on a register also because I had bad swelling and feet pain after only 2 hours of working. They didn't listen.

At the register I'm happy and so are my feet. At USCAN after the day is over, I felt drained, lifeless and in lots of pain, and they just don't care!!!

I have almost hit my third year mark with Fred Meyer. The first year I worked for the company I was in CCK as a parcel/cashier.

I kinda liked the job until a new manager came in and just made the job a nightmare. I then transferred into the home department, where I still am currently working (not sure why...). A couple months ago I was fired over some ***. Luckily Union really helped me out, and I got my job back.

Im not quite sure why I fought to get my job back because nothing has changed. We are still constantly short handed, understaffed in general and my manager is pathetic. I was reading a comment below about how poor the management is becoming and I could not agree more. Loss prevention took time out of catching CRIMINALS to make sure I got fired over a simple mistake that could have easily been talked through.

My store's management is completely backwards and I am on the *** on quitting Fred Meyer as a whole. I once loved working for this company, but ever since I became exposed to how corrupt the people really are, it disgusted me and ruined all interest. It's so sad to see fellow employees intentionally breaking policy, as well as illegal acts and still having their job.

Really makes me wonder... :roll

Having worked for fred meyer 16 plus years I have seen the leadership quality steadily plummit, their standards for managers is extremely low since kroger took over, I have never applied for managment position there because as stuck up as it sounds I know I'm better than what they have and I would never want to be associated with their so called leadership, I consistantly see them promote the weakest link

Number one if you love and trust god your comment is not needed. Number to im trying to get a job at the scappose freddies and those who are there act very stuck up.

It is a small town. Alot of business generate those who are stuck up. And truely getting a job is difficult because others are making it difficult. Its called EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY.

And many are disreguarding that. If you choose not to belive im sorry and thats what you choose but its a scam and their are many out there who lie to make a buck and get whatever they want. That is actually the reality of what the gentelmen was saying. No one is subject to believing the lies that others generate because of selfishness unless you really don't give a crud.

Maybe you not having any money and being homeless will help you see the pain in there heart.

I was recently homeless it is others also not only also. But others that make life difficult.

fred meyer treats it's senior employees badly and tries to fire them just before retirement. mostly they hire college students.

I have been employed by Fred Meyer for 17 years. Starting as a parcel and working my way up through management and currently at the corporate office.

I can tell you from experience that hard work and dedication is all it takes to succeed in this company. There are individual circumstances when management has had opportunities to improve.

However casting blame on a company for one experience with an individual manager is narrow minded. There is a lot to be said for the steps the company have made towards stronger leadership and a better working environment.
