Pros

It's a job. Meijer is the place to send your teenager to work to ensure they go to college.

Cons

Gee where do I start? You mean absolutely nothing to this company. Extremely high turnover of good employees. Abusive managers who bark out orders like you're a child. Three different managers giving ten different assignments.that you're supposed to complete in a four hour shift because that's all you're scheduled to get. You get to work 24 hours a week but are scheduled six days a week to get those hours. Oh, and be grateful for those hours. Expect to work holidays and weekends. Time and a half pay on holidays ONLY if you are a full time employee- so all of the holidays are conveniently void of full time employees. The pay is minimum wage. There are very few full time positions. They expect you to care about the company, yet couldn't care less about you. They have a strange points system that makes no sense, is arbitrary, and they will throw points on your record for infractions you didn't even do. Most times you aren't even told when you get points or why. Scheduling is a joke. You get your schedule the Friday before the new week starts. So you get a 1 day notice to find out you work on Sunday. Don't expect to be able to work another part time job - they won't work with you for a consistent schedule. This place is the worst of the worst.

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.
