Pros

The pay is competitive with the national chains, the benefits are a little lacking. The culture in each store is unique, some are well oiled machines while others teeter on the verge of chaos. If you show the desire and ability to advance Meijer will promote and develop your career. Many team leaders and even store directors began with Meijer as hourly employees. I began my career with Meijer as a garden center associate and eventually became an Assistant Store Director within a relatively short time.

Cons

Biggest con was the demanding work schedule. As a 48 hr. salaried manager I often found myself working fifty or more hours a week.

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.
