Pros

It's a job with pay. Hours are somewhat flexible, but can change with little notice.

Cons

Just above minimum wage pay. Little or no chance of advancement without a ton of sucking up to the right people. Part-time hours are just low enough to not qualify for unemployment should you lose your job. Company values are lies, you are NOT part of the Meijer family, you are an expendable asset at the mercy of the general public and whatever store leader/manager who happens to be in a bad mood. Working with the public; dealing with very self-entitled people who love to stretch the line of "The customer is always right." But that is not really the company's fault, just goes with the job.

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.
