Meijer Employee Reviews about "flexible schedule"

Pros

Flexible work schedule if you like not knowing from week to week the days and hours you work then this could be a positive! If you like being managed by policy with the threat of termination then this too could be a positive. If like working for minimum wage with the above condition the Meijer is a great place to work.

Cons

Having given you the PROS here are the CONS: -Leadership in non existent -Managers are complete "yes men" with little if any backbone -Managers will do what ever it takes to get promoted -training that real job training is non existent leaving the new employee in a sink or swim mode -the PC training that is given is totally sleepy time -the Meijer Union is just that they are total "Yes Men" for the company and the employee pays $6,48 a week to the Union for this support -The "Friendly Meetings" are a joke they tell the employee everything they have to do and end the meeting with "If you do not like the job - there's the door, we have plenty of people waiting to come in"

Pros

The schedule was flexible and the job was relatively easy. The customers were pleasant for the most part.

Cons

The management in some departments tends to play favorites. Sometimes the expectations were less than reasonable considering the volume of traffic in the store.

Pros

The managers I had were very good at working the schedule aorund your personal time. Most people I worked with were generally nice. THe department I worked in had great hours.

Cons

Upper Management tended to ignore you and your opinions. There was a lot of favoritism. I was often asked to work off the clock.

Pros

In my experience I had amazing coworkers and they conformed to my schedule very nicely.

Cons

Every other aspect of having a job.

Pros

The flexible work schedule allowed for me to have balance in my life at that time.

Cons

I wish I lived closer to get to some of the job opportunities.

Pros

decent discount on general merchandise, and at least once a year they open the discount to groceries, health and beauty, and sometimes even coupons for gas. I've won the Fred and Lena Meijer Scholarship twice which really helped with school. The management has always been flexible with my schedule to allow for classes and raising my son. Honestly, I don't think I'd be about to finish my Masters degree if I hadn't had Meijer on my side.

Cons

Lots of politics in Management within the store. They don't always care about the team members. The people who come and tell us what we are doing wrong have likely never worked on an actual sales floor/had to stock/merchandise/etc.

Pros

Lots of opportunity for advancement. very flexible work hours and schedule.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

good management and flexible with schedule/hours

Cons

lots of downtime, often pretty boring

Pros

You can ask off and pretty much get what days you want. They are very good about working around your schedule especially if you are in school.

Cons

The upper management is very corrupt and not very organized. Many of the service coordinators are very unhelpful and unprofessional. There is no way for a complaint to looked at seriously. Even if the complaint was about something such as other employees treating others as lower individuals. There really isn't a way to get raises even if you are very experienced at what you do. The 10 cent raise every 1000 hours isn't good enough to help support an individual.

Pros

Above minimum wage pay Great co-workers who are willing to help out new people Flexibility is great because I'm also a student and they were willing to work around my schedule

Cons

They don't give you very many hours You will have to deal with rude customers There is a lot to remember as a cashier due to their high expectations that cashiers follow all policies
