Meijer – “Miejer: Could be better, could be worse.”

Pros

The people that I work with at my store are have become some of my closest friends over the year that I've worked there. Overall, for a college kid trying to have an income, it's not a bad place to work. I don't always get all of the hours I want, but they are actually flexible about scheduling and time off when you put it in on time, expect around the holidays. My bosses are very well liked and it is a company that varies a lot from store to store, but that what makes each store different then the one down the road from it.

Cons

People often think that "we get taken advantage of" and stuff like that...not really. The customers are the worse part of the job. Some of the idiots that I have to deal with on a daily basis drive me NUTS. The only think that really gets me is when I want 30 hours a week, but I only get scheduled for 20. Also, our schedules for the next week aren't posted until the Saturday before.

Advice to Senior Management

Remember that you employ college age people. If you remember that people have a life out side work (astonishing I know!) then you will do just fine.
