Pros

When I worked for Meijer in the offices, it was a fair company with good benefits. Some overtime required. Reviews were for the most part fair.

Cons

As I was leaving to have children, the employees had just voted no to having a union. After that, we started to have meetings where management would say 'only new hires will be paying part of their benefits. You get to keep yours'. 2 -3 months later we were too. They took sick days, benefits, etc.

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.
