Meijer Software Developer reviews

nothing is really that bad.

Terrible IT management, especially upper management. The pay is very low compared to any other company (example: I nearly doubled my pay by leaving Meijer for another dev job). They will not even try to match pay or take feedback to make the place better in order to keep talent. Out of the couple teams I was on, point of sale was the worst. I had many 70-80 hour weeks with no additional pay or comp time. Both teams I was on had managers leave. One left the company, the other was moved to another team and was never replaced. I spent a lot of time converting old apps and servers from server 2003 (VBScript/javascript junk) to server 2008 (C# .NET 4.6/MVC/SQL), when server 2012 was already available. They are too cheap to just do things the right way. When given options on how to fix or develop something, there was not a single time they didn't choose the band-aid fix. There are far too many old school people in management that just don't understand that younger generations are different. I don't say that expecting everything my way, but they are very adverse to change. If you value your life/time/family, do not work here. You could lose it all.
