Pros

Good opportunity to see how retail really works. If you enjoy interacting with customers and like to be helpful to them, you can do it here.

Cons

About five years ago, Meijer embarked an a program of restructuring their operations and has trimmed staff at all their stores. Often there are not enough people to perform the tasks required and any comments made to Senior Staff about conditions are met with the attitude of "you don't have to work here"

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.
