Great opportunity with a growing privately held regional company that believes in promoting and developing from within.

Pros

The pay is competitive with the national chains, the benefits are a little lacking. The culture in each store is unique, some are well oiled machines while others teeter on the verge of chaos. If you show the desire and ability to advance Meijer will promote and develop your career. Many team leaders and even store directors began with Meijer as hourly employees. I began my career with Meijer as a garden center associate and eventually became an Assistant Store Director within a relatively short time.

Cons

Biggest con was the demanding work schedule. As a 48 hr. salaried manager I often found myself working fifty or more hours a week.

Pros

All employees are eligible for benefits. Willing to work with you on scheduling around life (usually). Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Pay is abysmal, regardless of position. Start at minimum wage and top out at about $10 an hour after years of employ. Absolutely no opportunity to advance the vast majority of the time. Getting into management is nigh impossible if you haven't already been a manager elsewhere, and even then it's pure luck. Typical pitfalls of retail all apply here as well. Turnaround rate is high, so expect to go outside of the normal tasks of your position and expect to be spread thin on most days.

Pros

You learn how to operate heavy industrial equipment. Want to be trained on something to get a raise? The boss would find a way to get you trained. Some of the people were awesome to work with.

Cons

The UFCW is worthless. First hired, first fired (didn't happen to me). Expected to work 40 hours plus mandatory overtime even if part-time (even happened outside of the holiday season), sometimes as little as 16 hrs. Only 1/5 of the hourly workers were full time (no benefits for the rest of us). Work could be extremely dangerous depending on how much needed to be done, you could be fired for as little as 1 week of not making your quota. Sometimes working safely meant risking your job because of the quota. Limited advancement....
