Pros

It’s okay for a first job Raises based on how many hours worked Flexibility in hours Willing to cross train

Cons

The MANAGEMENT. I was doing the work of a manager and getting paid for a regular team member. My manager would sit on her butt all day while I was on the floor doing the work. Very difficult to move up the ladder unless you were a butt kisser. Very political and a lot of favoritism. I would have left sooner if it weren’t my first job. I only stayed because I didn’t know any better. Get out while you can, meijer is a terrible company to work for.

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.
