Fred Meyer Stores – “What's on Your List Today: Discrimination and Retaliation”

Pros

College students who are only planning to be employed a short time may benefit from some managers willingness to accomodate a student schedule.

Cons

"Good ol'Boy" mentality among managers makes sure only white males and the occassional female get promoted. Human Resource is ineffective in dealing with complaints often resulting in retaliation by management. Not the sort of place you would want to work if you are the sort of person to blow the whistle on racial, sexual, or any other kind of personal discrimination.

Advice to Senior Management

Take retaliation complaints seriously and investigate them without bias. Learn what diversity means in the workplace and terminate managers who show an obvious bias against others.
