Pros

The corporate pay is competitive. The co-workers are good. The advancement oportunities are good. Being able to work remotely is a plus.

Cons

They run projects based on the deadline without consideration as to what it entails and gives a minumum budget to achieve it.

Pros

You'll make minimum wage and work for stupid people and be forced to do things everyday that literally make no sense what so ever and people will be rude to you daily and the worst customers are meijer employees.

Cons

They'll act like they are paying you more then they are. Every other retailer pays more and has better perks then meijer. Walmart pays more, kmart pays more so does target, Kroger and everyone! meijer point system is worst in the business and does nothing to reward you for good work. One minute late equals a half point. Get sick at work equals a point, call off equals a point, one minute late from break if you get to take a break equals a half point. 12 points your fired! You will work 5 to six days a week but never get forty hours! Even with a sale and your employee discount Walmart will still be less expensive. Local company or not meijer sucks and will not get any of my pay check cause they like to get employees to spend their entire check at meijer.

Pros

My manager was very flexible with my schedule. My supervisors and managers verbal appreciation for my hard work. You can learn many aspects of grocery/retail operations.

Cons

Meijer pays you poverty wages. You then are forced(in Ohio you cannot legally opt out) to pay a bargaining union to negotiate those poverty wages. Part-timers have to wait 18 months before receiving all the paid holidays Meijer offers. They understaff the store. Well below the bare minimum of employees making the workload literally impossible. They also are understaffed on supervisors. They cut hours by hundreds of hours in all departments during holidays. They cannot keep employees there because they do not pay them their worth and give them impossible workloads to accomplish. And good workers leave and never return. All the managers say they're not allowed to give raises. I don't believe this. The pay scale is not part-time friendly. If you're part-time expect to make a $1.00 raise in about 2-4 YEARS. You'll make more from state/federal minimum wage increases than from the pay scale. Managers compliment your work, and express they want to pay you more but are not allowed. You get to realizing while Meijer is making billions of dollars, opening dozens of new stores with non borrowed money, and you're not able to pay your bills that something isn't right. The Union is only for workers who don't want to be disciplined. Part-timers are not eligible to include family members on insurance plans only their individual self.
