Pros
Upward mobility is constant as Meijer is opening many stores every year. Emphasis on respect and kindness toward fellow employees and customers Great health insurance benefits Terrific 401 plan - very smart investing that pays off Will work around part-time employee schedule requirements Most stores become unionized. Higher pay; but can limit increases based on performance Ranking of employees based on attendance, job performance, attitude towards others, etc helps to weed out those who underperform or aren't suited to Meijer's customer service- oriented philosophy and constant stock replenishment expectations.
Cons
After stores open, there is the usual attrition of employees and positions go unfilled with extra work and expectations landing on shoulders of remaining employees Emphasis on grocery side of business; General Merchandise (GM) and Service teams seem to have most turnover due to low hours during slow weeks; lack of pay increases based on performance
