Pros
Meijer is not a bad place to work as long as you work in their hometown of Grand Rapids Michigan where everything is closely monitored.
Cons
The company promises to treat all of its employees with dignity and respect and expects its employees to do the same, but this rule only seems to apply to employees and management can treat people however they like. The company has an honesty policy and they expect employees to be honest at all times but again management is not held to this policy. The company comes up with programs to reward hard working employees but unless you work in Grand Rapids these programs only last a short time and then are forgotten. Most supervisors only reward their favorite employees and not always the employees that have earned it. Promotions are mostly given to people from outside the company or relatives of management. Hard work is rarely recognized or rewarded. In the distribution centers most equipment is shabby and probably close to unsafe. The company does very little preventive maintenance on the buildings or equipment, only fixing things after they break. The Union takes money from every check you earn and gives nothing in return.
