Meijer reviews

Your discount doesn't apply to food. There is a new system for making schedules where if you are new and have limited availability you will be lucky to get any hours. Upper management expects too much out of workers while cutting hours. Bonuses are based off of goals which are set to be unreachable not how much profit you are making. There is a lot of drama between workers. Managers play favorites. Safety is a second thought. Heavy equipment is often neglected and it never gets maintained or replaced. This place is a deadend job. Moral is terrible. Mangers always back the customer rather than telling a customer that they are wrong. Owners are greedy beyond belief.

-company relies on "the customer is always right" which isn't the right way to run a company. A company should focus first on their employees and in turn their employees will give excellent customer service. Instead, managers will disregard store policies that their employees are supposed to follow in front of their customers because that customer complained and wanted it their way. A customer could be absolutely 100% completely wrong and the manager will override it. If we keep doing this, the entitlement in this country will keep going up. This needs to be addressed. But your employees first and in turn they will put your customers first. -customers can be really quite horrible and entitled at times. My coworker has had ice thrown in her face for the soda machine being out of diet coke, for example. -the work uniform is ill-fitting and heavy which makes employees work less efficiently and less confidently because they do not feel comfortable or confident in what they are wearing. If they were modernized to something like a simple cotton t-shirt with meijer on it, for example, then things would run smoother. -cashiers are expected to not only scan but bag at a high rate speed but the lanes that are used are not efficient and need updating as soon as possible. -continued from pros.. I do love my job but I wish I could have contact with corporate and speak to them on what I think and many others think that needs to be improved upon. Instead decisions for every store are made without taking into consideration the employees or the specific store's needs. How can you make adequate decisions for something on which you do not work with or fully understand? You really cannot. You can do your best, but it will never be perfect unless you completely know what it is your making a choice for.
