Pros

half days on holiday weekends; decent cafeteria, tiny discount on merchandise, sampling of products

Cons

Meijer is a very old school company in terms of management, company culture, and innovation. Be prepared to dislike coming to work every day, walking on eggshells in fear of getting treated poorly by management, and working with older than the hills technology. If you have any prior experience at an innovative company, do not come to Meijer without expecting to be frustrated each and every day. Good people are sprinkled in here and there but the majority of the company is clearly unhappy to be at work. They may try to tell you that they intend to hire new talent and are striving to improve the culture but they do nothing to make it reality.

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.
