Not a motivating place to work.

Pros

Since Meijer is part of the Union, there are plenty of benefits for you, like paid days off, vacation time, medical insurance, point system, ect.

Cons

The management is terrible. Closers will often ask you to perform other duties such as cashiering, cleaning, managing stock, and expect to have your original assignment done. Hours will be reduced if you get on the managers bad side. Will often deal with customers of lower intelligence and deal with a lot of theft. The job tasks are easy, but the people you work with will give you a hard time.

Pros

For the most part, the pay is pretty decent. I'm pulling around 9.80 per hour, as compared to 7.50 at my last job from years back. The team leaders and store directors are usually pretty nice and professional when dealing with the non-salaried employees. The store generally gives opportunities to work in a variety of departments, which can be useful in resumes. The 10% discount on general merchandise is nice, and every once in awhile the company sends coupons for an additional 20% off GM, HBC and grocery if sales are particularly good.

Cons

Despite the volume of customers shopping daily in many of the stores, Meijer seems to only want to give less than 30 hours a week to Part-Time employees; I'm not sure if this is due to poor performance of other stores, or due to actual corporate policies. Pay is not high enough to justify hour cuts. Many stores favor hiring many new employees over giving current employees hours. Departments are generally understaffed on a day-to-day
