If you need a job and willing to be a Disposable Tool = then Meijer is a great place to work - Anonymous employee Meijer Employee Review

Management: totally lacking in leadership, people and management skills. An example, the meat dept.’s hot dog and lunch meat wall normally has one full time person working 8 hours a day 5 days a week to keep it stocked. The other day that person was off the first two day of the week, the store director personally came over and ordered two of us to have the wall completely stock in 15 minute (to stock it after a weekend usually takes a person two days). He had some big wig coming in and wanted to look good. One of our more benign store directors actually rolled up her sleeves and help stock. Now first off what he got out of this order was two upset employees and secondly our motivation to do a fast efficient job was definitely not there. So what he got were two employees who just crammed and jammed product anywhere and everywhere and who also went into “Slow Motion mode”. Apparently Meijer management has the mindset of the 1900’s when corporations believed that workers were “Disposable Tools”, well just because we work for minimum wage and are subject to the whims of management does not mean we are “Meijer slaves”! We have been told at our Meijer “Friendly Meeting” that if you don’t like working a Meijer there’s the door, we have plenty of people waiting to come in (real friendly). This may be a family owned and run corporation but it certainly is not family friendly.
