      A culture of animosity, bitterness, and resentment.

      Pros

      A great opportunity to gain experience dealing with the general public (despite some of it negative). Scheduling was more flexible than one would expect. Employee discount- a little limited in my opinion (10% gen. merchandise only) but definitely counts as a pro. Pay rate was acceptable for an entry level job, after all- they aren't asking you to calculate launch trajectories or remove frontal lobe tumors.

      Cons

      The management; they foster a work environment of hostility, favoritism and backstabbing office politics. Some managers were okay, even actually helpful to their subordinates, others however treated the lower-echelon employees with mistrust, disrespect, and even resentment. Promotions and raises are few and far in between. Working with the general public, oh what fun. It wouldn't be so bad when dealing with very entitled, self-absorbed and egomaniacal people, except when the manager is right there supporting the customer's harassment and extreme hostility toward employees.

      Good Old Boys Club

      Department team leader

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fast paced, friendly, family orientate (depending on your team leader), yearly raise

      Cons

      Passing up current employees for promotions for hiring outside the company, higher leadership is not forth coming about what you need to do to be promoted, very perception based instead of objective, higher management is not friendly (doesn't even say hi) and will not meet to discuss performance and goals, very political atmosphere in leadership. yearly review is "not allowed" to be high even if you have performed at a high level because they don't want to pay a big raise. You are expected to keep your team motivated and valued, HOWEVER, higher leadership does not thank you or make you feel valued.

      If you need to work at minimum wage and be managed by policy not by leadership then Meijer is the place

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule if you like not knowing from week to week the days and hours you work then this could be a positive! If you like being managed by policy with the threat of termination then this too could be a positive. If like working for minimum wage with the above condition the Meijer is a great place to work.

      Cons

      Having given you the PROS here are the CONS: -Leadership in non existent -Managers are complete "yes men" with little if any backbone -Managers will do what ever it takes to get promoted -training that real job training is non existent leaving the new employee in a sink or swim mode -the PC training that is given is totally sleepy time -the Meijer Union is just that they are total "Yes Men" for the company and the employee pays $6,48 a week to the Union for this support -The "Friendly Meetings" are a joke they tell the employee everything they have to do and end the meeting with "If you do not like the job - there's the door, we have plenty of people waiting to come in"
