Pros

They try to have a family like work environment. Good about giving you your requested days off. Fast pace work environment, occasionally. Mangers for the most part are decent people. decent-ish pay

Cons

A lot. The first year I worked here was great, way better then my previous job but is more stressful and unfulfilling. Management in certain departments is very hands off causing certain departments to fall apart. Soft lines is riddled with drama due horrible scheduling practices. Management refuses to replace employees who quit causing the other employees to be stressed out.The point system is horribly outdated and not even enforced. There is lots of employees who get away with wasting company time but management dose nothing about it . There is a endless amount of computer training but your pretty much on your own when its time to go on the floor. Extremely poor work life balance . While its extremely hard to become full time, management will gladly give you full time like hours. While I never reach 40 hours, It isn't unusual to be at Meijer Every single day, sometimes nine days straight before your given a day off . The company culture is rapidly going down hill due to a very outdated company structure.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
