Yeah, but how do you find out how Amazon treats their employees?

Keep in mind these are all big box retailers, and there's a huge amount of part time work simply because of staffing needs, so it might be kind of hard to determine which employees are part time for a "good" reason and which are not. Of those you mentioned, I think Fred Meyer might have, historically, been one of the best in terms of how they treat their employees. A friend of my son's worked there for years and did quite well. Now that they're part of Kroger, I don't know if that's still true, but most of the Fred Meyer stores are also union. Because of all the public pressure, I hear even Walmart employees are doing better. I don't shop Walmart, and I rarely shop Kmart, but I continue to do a lot of shopping at Fred Meyer. Staff turnover at the store seems very low and the employees happy, if that means anything! I also like Target, but I don't shop there as often as I do Freddy's, because I don't have a SuperTarget around here. In terms of how you'd access specific information, I did find a book available on Amazon, if it's worth $20 for you to find out.
