Pros

good locations, nice big stores friendly workers

Cons

Careers here are a joke unless you know someone. Hard to communication when the managers are not around or too busy bossing. When Fred Meijer retired and handled the reins to his sons it was a terrible mistake for they are going to run his store his vision into the ground. Store meeting that were just a piece of paper that everybody signs, break rooms in the back of the store so your break was mostly over by the time you get there.

Pros

There are flexible hours offered so one can take a day or two off from time to time with no questions.

Cons

Managers are typically incompetent. Need your manager for something? You can probably find them in the smokers' break room.

Pros

I've found my department manager to be very accomodating of my schedule outside of work. It's a not very demanding to really do your job. I know it may not be the case in all locations, but my store has a real positive atmosphere and it seems like people actually enjoy their jobs. It seems to me that the people that work here actually enjoy what they do, helping out customers, finding solutions to problems and finding what the customer wants. The daily meetings really do help to keep everybody informed of what is happening and provide a great place to ask questions and find answers about daily things you may not have run into before. The management at my store is pretty much derived from former sales clerks, and they recognize what we do everyday.

Cons

First, it's retail, so you have your run of the mill customer issues all the time. Of course, that can't really be helped. Some of the employees are cliquish and really, it seems mostly like a dead end job as there aren't really that many ways to move up the ladder. Also, the managers just tend to let you go unless you are doing something wrong instead of offering suggestions to make things better in general.
