Pros

I was looking for a job that actually paid me(I had a job where I barely earned anything) and Meijer seemed like an obvious choice. The work itself was pretty easy. I worked for two different stores in two states. In Michigan, I worked for a feminist who I didn't get along with. In Illinois, I worked for a man who respected and and gave me preferential treatment. I got the most hours because of this relationship. The discount is alright but not spectacular. Job security is really good. I transferred from a store in Michigan to a store in Illinois and my store director made it completely painless and totally vouched for me without really even knowing me.

Cons

Pay is not great. You get small raises after working every 700 hours or so, but it seems like a long ways away at the time. Most Meijer stores are unionized and I don't really care for unions. Union dues take money out of your paycheck but you have the option of having the money you would pay in union dues to go to charity and not belonging to the union.

Pros

The fashions manager was nice and she was understanding about circumstances and things that just come up in life. The points system was also cool because you could cash out points for restaurant or Mastercard gift cards on top of regular pay.

Cons

After the remodel, they started cutting everyone's hours because they couldn't afford the workers they already had. This was irritating because they would cut part timers down to 12 hours a week but give you four hour shifts, so you didn't qualify for breaks you were already used to and also because four hours is not a lot of time to get down and dirty in a task and actually do it well.
