Meijer reviews

Not long before i quit cashiers coming in were making way more than what i even started at. Considering i cashiered as well and stocked candy and changed store signs. I did alot more than cashiers alone and i felt that was pretty unfair. I worked 3rd shift and most people on 2nd shift were really rude and/or sat around on the benches with nothing being said to them. I was the only person in my department that was required to work weekends. There was alot of favortism and i mean alot. It's one of those places where news gets around really fast and everyones always worried about your buisness.

They can do as they please with your availability and your schedule. They give good lip service about how Meijer has family values but the next day they will cut your hours because you are PT and don't care if you can't feed your kids. I was brought in as PT but promised 40hrs a week and then they didn't make their quota and they cut everybody's hours by half. Funny thing is, they are short staffed and are hiring left and right. Also, it is simply not enough time to do your job with half the hours so as a result you get no breaks trying to keep up with demand. They did this 3 weeks before Christmas too. There are no benefits, the Union takes your dues but does nothing for you. Work is usually very physical (lifting, stocking etc) and if they need you anywhere else, they will just tell you to do that regardless of what they originally hired you for. There are really no career opportunities there for advancement of any kind. I got that job because I was desperate for a paycheck like most people are. They will hire anyone really. No drug tests are given. People quit daily so it is a revolving door of faces. Quite strong penalty system for missing days or being over on your break. You get two 15 mins breaks in 8 hrs.
