Pros

Get to work outside a lot. Collecting carts isn't hard unless your busy or bad weather which was 9 times out of ten but there were rare easy days when store was dead. Paid 15 minute breaks and discount card. Management and fellow utility workers were nice.

Cons

Having to clean the bathrooms and disgusting messes, which you cannot refuse to do. Had to clean up bodily fluids and overflowing toliets and so on ever week. Make you do multiple jobs for little pay. They paid me minimum wage and wanted me to collect carts, empty trash, clean bathrooms and any mess, run for cashiers, help customers, load heavy items, sweep parking lot and doorways and relieve greeters, all for less then what the greeters or cashiers make. Also cashiers and service desk would often belittle me and make me feel like oh your the guy that just collects carts so why isn't my trash emptied yet and so on. Had to work out in any kind of weather. Got soaked and froze almost daily. You get used to being rained or snowed on but still sucks. Also you will get held over a lot and called in a lot. If the lot isn't clear they hold you over even if the people ahead of you left the lot a mess your getting held over till it's clear.

Pros

Meijer is a great company to work for. Management has an Opening. Door Policy. Flexible schedules.

Cons

The worst part of working at Meijer is that schedules are done weekly, and are posted on Friday afternoons - so you don't know whether you work on Sunday til 2 days prior.

Pros

My team leader is flexible, approachable and refuses to micro manage. I know I can turn to him with any issue or question and I will walk away with a workable solution I have developed some nice friendships with my co-workers. Staff is generally friendly and fun to be around.

Cons

Upper management is more often than not clueless about the jobs and the challenges their hourly employees deal with. Worse is the fact upper management will ask about a specific problem but will refuse listen to staff. I’ve been asked why there is so much back stock and why is that back stock not being worked daily but I wasn’t allowed to answer getting the response “I don’t want to hear that.”
