Pros
The company allows me to have SOME creative freedom when it comes to cake decorating. I enjoy most my coworkers. My customers keep coming back cause I do what needs to be done.
Cons
Unfortunately getting the job done is quite difficult. My department went from a easy steady pace to unbelievably difficult within a 4 year span. We have no staff. Combining deli and bakery was a terrible idea. We went from being fully staffed to working with 2 to 3 workers a day. I'm the only ft decorator with a pt decorator who only works 4 hrs a day. I can't do the load, fill the floor and very large cake case, cake orders, and mass produce cake product with no help. I'm mentally exhausted along with most of the employees at meijer. Your ideas are poorly executed. Unachievable work demands I call it. What ever happened to "work smart not hard"? Also out sdic makes it quite clear they don't like a lot of us veteran employees. I don't feel my job is safe ever. I've had to split my off days up just because I'm full time. I now plan my life around meijer. That's not family oriented. It's all about family at meijer...right? It's very very sad. I don't think Fred would be pleased to see whats become of his company.
