Pros

Company is growing year after year. Scheduled pay raises for hourly employees.

Cons

Inconsistent scheduling. Management either doesn't want to hear or doesn't care about the opinions of employees on the lowest level. Everyone talks about everyone behind their back. If what's being said about you is good this can work in your favor, but mostly it's petty, vile stuff. Meijer has a promote from within history, which means there are people in high level management that have no work experience other than Meijer. This hurts the company's ability to be innovative and agile. These things that I mention reflect the corporate offices, not necessarily the stores.

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.
