Meijer reviews

our store is always cutting labor, it makes me furious that our management doesn't seem to care about out long lines...the out of stocks in dariy and the carts all over the parking lot..becaseu we have don't have people to get them. How can they not see this??if you think you will get waited on in the Deli department after 6 pm...forget it no one will be there.

There was lots of internal drama between co-workers, there was a lack of benefits and a 10% employee discount for "General Merchandise" that had to be used in the store, upper-management was willing to do anything to prevent employees to acquire full-time status (cutting hours was a popular method), where I worked the paycap for my position was $9.80 and it took about 4 years to get it... Oh and you're forced to join a union that no one cares about. Also, lots of interesting (not always in a good way) customers, pre-pay stations = more agitated customers and not every co-worker takes the job seriously--but that's common in retail apparently. Seniority worked an hour earlier, thus left an hour earlier (1st or 2nd shift). Can't leave the property on lunch breaks. If a register froze it took at least 15-20 minutes to reboot it and that was annoying during rush hours. Once both the registers froze and they were down for almost an hour. That was fun--lots of angry customers that day. You know, the usual retail mumbo-jumbo. P.S. Sounds like I left at a good time considering the hour and raise cuts thanks to Obamacare. When I was there, we got a 10 cent raise for the first 350 hours, a 25 cent for the next 350 hours and then 25 cents for every 700 hours until the pay cap. Reached $8.25 after almost 2 years starting at $7.40. Wasn't great then and it's even worse now.
