Pros

None really. Co workers are the only nicest things.

Cons

Every break will be late no matter what kind of day it is. You are often forgotten, marked off on their list, or they are just running behind. Expect breaks to be late by 1-2 hours. Sometimes you miss a last break, or sometimes your lunch will be where your last break will supposed to be. Pay scale. The pay is lower than some of the other big box retailers like Wal Mart. If you have lower experience, they will offer lower pay like between 11-12 dollars. If you have higher experience, 12 - 13. HR during interviews will ask to never speak of it to other employees because it lacks "fairness". HR is deceiving and will not tell you important things during the interview and orientation. Like holiday pay is not paid unless you have been there for 6 months and there is no 90 day review. If you want a pay raise, I was told by co workers that you are to work so many hours. I believe it was something like a 1000. Constantly short staffed and over worked Favoritism by management You have to punch out for every break besides your 1/2 hour lunch 10 percent discount on only selected items. Not grocery unless selected Meijer branded goods. For the Holiday Bonus, it was paid with points for in which you redeem for a gift card. Taxes come out of your pay check. It is like almost 30 percent! The union is mostly useless. It is an outside union. Management is VERY VERY ABLEST. Management hates not being able to use a person to the fullest extent. Constantly will try to put people with needs in physical demanding spots and expects them to endure it.

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.
