Pros

If you are lucky enough to have good store leadership, the environment can be ok at best.

Cons

Upper leadership is more about beat downs than coaching and development. Many have never run stores, but are hired and promoted based on being liked. Results can be meaningless and there is very little dignity and respect which is monitored by a culture survey. The results show that the company continues to fail badly in this area. Ever since the passing of Fred Meijer, the company has lost focus on people. Caring about employees and customers are gone. Very unfortunate.

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.
