Pros

Weekly Pay, that's about it. Only work here if you want the bag and in the process of finding a new job to replace this one.

Cons

No room for growth, pure dead end job for people to sell their souls to if they have no place to go. From managers talking about you behind your back to lazy workers who like to hide in stalls for 20-30 minutes periodically and make you do all the work, this place holds the lolcow for things that go wrong in a retail store nowadays. VERY obnoxious produce manager will do anything in his way to rat you out or tell you what to do even if they are or not in your department. Rumors go around about the boss of the store yelling at the managers from time to time and being told from managers verbatim that they get paid less than the actual workers like what? In what world does this happen where the people that run your lines in the store and managing the workflow of others come in so often than the actual employees, do the most, and still get underpaid? You think I would want to become a manager under your supervision and get the same treatment? Stop playing Monopoly with your people before you wind up having no houses (employees), and go bankrupt (no good roster and constant turnover) like right now. You get people applying for interviews then get shut down with laughter when you tell them your poor salary range. They can literally work at McDonalds and still get a better wage, it's not hard and you guys are losing people every single month when I go in the store to check things out. It's no longer the same Meijer and soon or later you'll see less and less employees still working there, majority are starting to retire especially on the grocery side, and the managers are looking for new fresh talent to replace them so you can pick up their slack, do not do it or you will be disappointed.

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.
