Random mismanaged group but able to work on its own.
Loader/Unloader (Former Employee), New Baltimore, MI – May 23, 2013
Pros: good pay and good hours
Cons: management, lack of consistency, and understaffed
Unloading a truck with a random number of product on them. I've learned how to better convey information and assessment of situations. Management at times nowhere to be found or not in the building. Most were good friends only one had a problem with me. Hardest part was not knowing what time i would be done and being understaffed. Enjoyable was the – more... physical workout and getting to meet different people. – less

Good Job
Cashier (Former Employee), Sterling Heights, MI – May 22, 2013
Ring up customers and keep my lane clean. Make sure I keep my line down and get the customers checked out quickly. I learned that no matter who you are, everyone has their own opinion on you and what you do and wear. My co-workers were very nice and helped me out whenever I needed it. The hardest part of my job was when I got people who did not like – more... the price on the item. – less

A good job to start your life
Food clerk (Former Employee), Lansing, MI – May 21, 2013
Pros: pay
Cons: union
a typical day at work is as typical as when you are getting ready to make launch or dinner, cleaning, maintaining and tacking care of customers. handling food products and such, ive learned how to do my job well and how to advance by showing how i eager i was to get the position i wanted. management is 50/50 depending on who is the manager for the day. – more... my coworkers soon become my friends. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the management itself depending on the situation. – less

great people to work with, not good people to work for.
Foods team member (Current Employee), Grand Rapids, MI – May 21, 2013
Pros: great people
Cons: getting treated like you can't amount to nothing, hours cut
I like the work I do. But so much is expected of you as an employee and you don't get the compensation you deserve. I haven't worked in the department I hired into for month because people are quitting in deli and bakery every week. The only thing I like about my job is the amazing people I work with, they are the foundation of this company.

Fast paced customer oriented place
Cashier (Current Employee), Rossford, OH – May 20, 2013
Great place to be lots of fun people to work with, i learned how to cashier, and the managers help me learn something new everyday. The hardest part of the job is being patient when you have a long line of customers and there is nothing you can do, but its rewarding meeting new people everyday.

Union provides the only pluses.
Deli Associate (Former Employee), West Chester, OH – May 20, 2013
Pros: union offers several pluses
Cons: management is a mixed bag
The largest issue with this organization is the lack of communication between different managers and between associates. Having multiple managers, each with a different agenda, can really hamper enjoyment of working at meijer.

Supportive staff, minimal pay / incentive.
BAKERY CLERK (Current Employee), Wyoming, MI – May 18, 2013
I work in a production environment with a storefront. It is my job to make sure our shelves are stocked, and that any customers have their needs met.

The leadership staff is very helpful and encouraging.

My co-workers are friendly and appreciative.

The hardest part of my job is the feeling that I am not being used to my full potential. My job requires – more... very little skill, and provides very low pay.

The most enjoyable part of my job is greeting customers, and providing their children with free cookies. – less

Working at meijer
Utility Worker (Former Employee), Saginaw, MI – May 15, 2013
Pros: decent hours and friendly people.
Cons: unpredictable work schedule
Not a bad company to work at. I came in when scheduled and cleaned and maintained the bottle room, took care of customers, and returned the unwanted groceries customers decided they didn't want. My managers were nice and made sure to keep me busy, and my co-workers were friendly and helpful. I liked some of the people i worked with, it's like they had – more... your back if something went wrong. – less

Very customer orientated company!
Stocker (Former Employee), Rockford, MI – May 15, 2013
Pros: always friendly staff and management
Cons: less flexible in terms of scheduling than others
Stocked Shelves during 2nd and 3rd shifts

The job was a bit mundane aside from the holidays. I worked with a great crew and both Managers I worked on were fantastic!
The job was rarely too taxing aside from stocking some of the heavier home and garden stuff but that was to be expected. Not much else to be said about it!

Work has been constant, but staff is too small to move stock out that is needed. Now hours are being cut as well
Grocery Stocker (Current Employee), Merrillville, IN – May 14, 2013
Pros: insurance for part-time.
Cons: poor customer service is provided for the customer
Run stock out on the floor that needs to be stocked. Fill in "holes" that exist on the shelves.

I have nothing good to say
Cashier (3rd shift) (Current Employee), Burton, MI – May 13, 2013
I'm on 3rd shift and over-worked ("Part time" employee status but working 36-40 hour weeks for months now).
My mother always told me to keep my mouth shut if I couldn't say something nice, so I'm ending this review here.

Great workplace with family values
FOOD CLERK (Current Employee), Mount Pleasant, MI – May 13, 2013
Pros: great family environment, ability to move up
Cons: some lazy workers, sometimes disgruntled customers
What I like most about Meijer is the people I met. This is like my second family. The work is not overly difficult if you have any work ethic, and you get raises after a set amount of hours. There are also opportunities to move up in the company as long as you show that you are a good worker.

Productive company with strong family values
Sales Associate (Full-Time) (Former Employee), Kettering, OH – May 13, 2013
Pros: three breaks throughout an 8 hour shift
Cons: healthcare
Workers expected to clock-in within 2 minutes of their shift. Immediately start whatever job is assigned. Management is strong with good family values. Co-workers are hard workers. Hardest part of the job is multi-tasking.

Hard work but worth it.
Truck Unloader/ Salvage Clerk (Former Employee), Madison Heights, MI – May 13, 2013
I worked first as a merchandiser for a flower company and saw how well meijer treated its employees so when the season was over and i was asked to apply i jumped at the chance. They are a little understaffed so the work was a lot but management had no problem jumping in and helping.
