Pros

the people I worked with in the location I was at were awesome

Cons

I have a disability which makes it difficult for me to stand for extended periods of time. It also requires that I drink excessive amounts of water with added electrolytes. I was unable to have my 64oz stainless steel water bottle even after getting a note from my doctor stating that it was necessary, and the company made me get my other accommodations (no standing for more than 30 minutes) changed just so I could work. Although there is no policy stating that cashiers cannot sit, they were unwilling to allow me to stay in the position I was hired for (cashier) because a chair or stool would be a "trip hazard" and would not let me sign something saying I would not sue the company if I tripped because it was also a concern relating to customers, but there is no reason that a customer should be that close to the register. Instead of working with me and accommodating my reasonable requirements (allowing me to have my 64oz water bottle, allowing me to sit for ~30 minutes, etc), Meijer chose to change my position and give me a rollator (walker) - which I didn't receive until over two and a half hours into my last shift. Instead of working with my reasonable accommodations, Meijer put me on leave while waiting for updated accommodations from my doctor, then they changed my position from a cashier to a general merchandise clerk.

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.
