Pros

Weekly Pay, that's about it. Only work here if you want the bag and in the process of finding a new job to replace this one.

Cons

No room for growth, pure dead end job for people to sell their souls to if they have no place to go. From managers talking about you behind your back to lazy workers who like to hide in stalls for 20-30 minutes periodically and make you do all the work, this place holds the lolcow for things that go wrong in a retail store nowadays. VERY obnoxious produce manager will do anything in his way to rat you out or tell you what to do even if they are or not in your department. Rumors go around about the boss of the store yelling at the managers from time to time and being told from managers verbatim that they get paid less than the actual workers like what? In what world does this happen where the people that run your lines in the store and managing the workflow of others come in so often than the actual employees, do the most, and still get underpaid? You think I would want to become a manager under your supervision and get the same treatment? Stop playing Monopoly with your people before you wind up having no houses (employees), and go bankrupt (no good roster and constant turnover) like right now. You get people applying for interviews then get shut down with laughter when you tell them your poor salary range. They can literally work at McDonalds and still get a better wage, it's not hard and you guys are losing people every single month when I go in the store to check things out. It's no longer the same Meijer and soon or later you'll see less and less employees still working there, majority are starting to retire especially on the grocery side, and the managers are looking for new fresh talent to replace them so you can pick up their slack, do not do it or you will be disappointed.

Pros

- Pickup is very chill and some days you can just hang out between orders (in the evenings mostly) - You can listen to music or podcasts while picking if you can still hear people / customers (Technically it's not allowed, but you can get away with it)

Cons

- Some days can be hell, and it's very variable - It's very physically draining - The schedule is never consistent
