Pros

There were few pros at this place besides some of the customers being friendly and the people I worked with. Oh ! And they are very flexible with hours, I was allowed to only work weekends while being in school, but they would play with my hours so much that sometimes I would only be working 12 hours a weekend.

Cons

I spent almost 3 years of my life at Meijer, and although I was full time during the summer and only worked weekends throughout the year because I'm a student, I was only being paid 8.50 an hour! Whenever I tell people that they are amazed with how crappy the pay raises are. They expect you to never talk to your co workers, to keep busy when there is absolutely nothing to do, and the worst part is they cut hours very badly around Christmas, of all times. They're constantly showing stupid videos during their Friendly meetings in the learning center about how Meijer is doing so amazing, and how they're expanding into new cities, but the discount we received still sucked, the pay was horrible, and the pay raises were extremely infrequent. I worked with people who had been employed with Meijer for over 15-20 years, and they were only making 11.50, so what does that tell you ?!

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
