Meijer reviews

Being force to work in other depts. on a daily basis because they are 'short-handed' there---but that is only because it's under-scheduled, saving the company money. Scheduling can be crazy. You might work until 11 PM Monday, be back to work the next day at 8 AM, then be off for 5 days (not requested off). Often told at the last minute that you are being 'held over', sometimes for hours. Waiting for hours before being allowed to go on break or lunch. I have worked entire shifts without getting lunch break. You must ask permission to go on break/lunch. You must ask permission to leave at the end of your shift. Can't contact your manager? Too bad, you can't go. Employee breakroom is disgusting, garbage bins overflowing onto floor every day. Drinking fountain is filthy, it has been cleaned once in the past yr. Correcting employee safety issues can take months, if it gets done at all. Management will not protect you from upset customers. Customer is always right. Even when they are screaming in your face. Even when they are cursing you. Even when they call you nasty names. Even when they actually strike you. They...are...always...right.

If you are looking for anything beyond your basic store management positions, and you don't live in the Michigan area, good luck. You will be passed over by lessor candidates because of their career tracking program. It is nearly impossible to go from the store level management to upper levels in the organization without Michigan ties.
