Fred Meyer Sales Department Employee Reviews

Friendly co worker and I make customers happy.

Review from Sales Dept

Your experience varies greatly depending on department & store manager at each location. There is a lot of overreaction in response to sales and theft, rather than executing a thought out plan that may be effective. Finding the tools to do your job best is also difficult at most locations.

Review from Sales Dept

I enjoy working with most of my coworkers and the customers are mostly enjoyable. Though management likes to turn a blind eye to the other mangers that don't do their jobs and delegate all their work to their team. They also don't follow their own rules and pet peeves.

Review from Sales Dept

My overall experience is positive, the workers and the environment are welcoming.

Review from Sales Dept

Much improvement in training associates to broaden their skill base and prepare them for promotion. Also much improvement needed in providing the tools and equipment to do the every day job well.

Review from Sales Dept

Actually working with the employees in their departments that actually understand what the customers want and need. And to stop making stupid superficial changing to make it look like their job still has a purpose. Stop adding more work to each position without taking something away of equal time

Review from Sales Dept

Consistent communication and task prioritization. Time management could also use work.

Review from Sales Dept

Doing work instead of all delegation

sick days are pretty good

Review from Sales Dept

The health insurance is the best I've had so far. It's the least expensive for the broadest coverage.

Review from Sales Dept

There is too big a gap between what the people doing the work make and what the people who watch the work being done make. My benefits fall into the 'don't get sick' category. If you do you won't be able to afford treatment/doctor visits.

Review from Sales Dept

getting an opportunity to advance. A position came open I applied for it, I'm qualified for it, yet I was told that I needed to be a salaried manager. no where in the job description does it state that. Sad really, I want an opportunity to prove I could do this job above expectations.

Review from Sales Dept

Workers deserve better pay than what they get

Review from Sales Dept

I don't feel it's right that someone that has been with the company 5 years can make the same as someone that's been there over 14 years. They should make a lot more than that

Review from Sales Dept

All the employees obviously care about one another and make the effort to back each other up. It's a warm, familial group.

Review from Sales Dept

This company has a structure where people seem to fear whoever is above them in the chain. Everybody is trying to simply please their supervisor rather than finding the best solution to a problem. This is where overreactions come in. Everything becomes urgent when someone's supervisor is upset.

Review from Sales Dept

Need more positive energy from management

Review from Sales Dept

Management has lost all trust

Review from Sales Dept

We are told that we have to stand there and take a customer telling you how horrible of a person you are and calling you every name under the sun, just so maybe they might give the company a higher rating. Kills your self esteem and self worth sometimes.

Review from Sales Dept

He seemed eager for me to join our team.

Review from Sales Dept

The casual feeling and the interaction

Review from Sales Dept

I liked the group interview we did. Working off each other and having to be creative with your answer to stand out from the others.

Review from Sales Dept

long signup, orientation, they make sure your prepared a survey is also done to see what type of personality one has, important in dealing with customers

Review from Sales Dept

The interviewers were friendly and professional and welcoming.

Review from Sales Dept

They force a standardization to the process where interviewers are simply checking off a list of specific questions. Our newcomers at my recent store said the process was three questions and took only a few minutes. We need to allow interviewers the freedom to explore a candidates' qualifications.
