Meijer Reviews

Pros

Flexible schedule Decent hourly wage COVID pay

Cons

Not much career advancement No benefits

Pros

Flexible hours, helpful bosses, most coworkers are helpful

Cons

Customer facing and mostly quite stressful

Pros

If you have deli experience and want a more quiet deli this is a good spot.

Cons

Pretty low pay compared to others. Also not super busy and you end up with time to kill which can get old fast. There was alot of drama going on while I worked and management made a rude comment on me taking a day off which is part of why I left but mainly I left to find a better opportunity for work. (They wanted to know why I was calling off I said my period and he told someone I should have just sucked it up. It’s just a disgusting comment from someone.)

Pros

Very flexible hours, and the people I work with are, for the most part, great. At the store level, management is good. On the whole, they care about your issues and try to work with you to get you the hours and place in the store that's best for you. Pay is OK but not great.

Cons

Corporate is killing the store. They are slashing hours and do not give two figs about any of the issues at the store level. Customer service is a thing of the past! Only the bottom line matters. The current push is to constantly do more with less. This makes for a very stressful work environment. As a part time employee, it means being scheduled for 5 hours instead of the 7.5 you are used to getting and being told to go home one day, then being told you MUST stay for an additional 3 hours the next. If you protest that you have made other plans, they tell you that if you don't stay, it's "refusal to work" and you can be terminated. This is no way to run a business.

Pros

Flexible schedule Never get bored because there's always something to do Physically active so you're never sitting at a desk

Cons

Never enough staff Pay is not that great You never get to stay in your own department because you're expected to help everywhere Higher management expects a lot even when they aren't providing the staffing or resources necessary to get a lot done

Pros

Works with you & your schedule Nice coworkers/managers Decent workload etc.

Cons

Pay could start out better, could top out more Tend to overload some workers more than others etc.

Pros

It appears to be a great place. They Doo a great job at marketing to customers all the things they try to do

Cons

No accountability to a point where you are rewarded for poor performance and going against your moral standard's, no leadership progression, chaotic, low wages and little effort into technology. Overall this is an aging company with horrible corporate standards and a great marketing team making it look like it's a great place to work and a great impact on the community. However it's all for pr, their involvement in the community is for tax write offs and to get close to community leaders to enhance their stance on dark store tax abatement.

Pros

(Reasonable) creative license to try new designs, decent pay for decorators compared to Kroger or Walmart

Cons

Lack of communication among upper management (which ends up with you going back and forth between people, only to be sent right back to the other), expecting whole departments to run on skeleton crews, huge distribution issues, obsolete equipment, and getting anything for the department is like pulling teeth

Pros

Have worked here since 2019 and love working for this company. Every place has its ups and downs.

Cons

Has been short staffed since covid.

Pros

-Flexible scheduling if working part-time.

Cons

People probably don't read job-site reviews for being a stocking associate at meijer, but incase you do here is a quick review. As a middle aged adult switching careers I took a part-time position at my local meijer doing overnight stocking just for alittle additional income. I worked in retail long ago as a teenager and kept an open mind going in. In my 9 months of employment before voluntarily quitting, I was the second most senior stocker for my shifts. The turnover here is incredible due to work conditions. Most people don't last a month, some not even a few weeks. You will deal with constant micromanagement even if performing well. Don't expect a team environment, you will be assigned aisles with full pallets of cases that you have a set time to have completed by. Even after memorizing locations of products and not having to refer to location stickers, you would have to quite literally run to meet these times. Ultimately, the harder you work to meet arbitrary metrics will be met with increased amounts since you could achieve the prior goal. The pallets of cases will keep getting larger and you will have no incentive to continue to damage your mind and body to pad the numbers for your store. Review is getting to more words than needed but maybe it helps someone out there deciding.
