Pros of working at Meijer

Inclusion, diversity, management works well with team members, hours are flexible, most team members are friendly and helpful to not only the customers but also to their colleagues.

Cons of working at Meijer

It’s located quite a distance from where I live.

Meijer benefits

Employee discount on meijer branded food items as well as the typical employee discount on taxable items.

What do you like best about Meijer's CEO and the leadership team?

I have found that the open door management policy truly does apply here. They honestly DO care about their employees and their opinions and suggestions. Their actions have spoken louder than any words could have.

How would you improve Meijer's culture?

At our location, as is in most locations, I would say there are a few folks that probably dislike having to do a job in general and as such will constantly complain about the job they have to do. I’m not exactly sure how but morale of these employees needs to be improved.

How did you prepare for the Meijer interview?

I have always relied on honesty. Each interviewer has a different method of determining the type of employee they would like to employ. Answering any and all questions with a simple honest answer will help the interviewer make a better decision. Neith they nor you want to have the wrong person placed in the wrong job.

How does your compensation at Meijer compare to the industry average?

My personal wage is below “industry “ level however, I am part time and I still believe the job I do complete is not worth the amount of money I am paid. Please bear in mind that I am not trying to support a household, I just want extra retirement income.

What's the diversity at Meijer like?

Very proud to be a part of this particular store and the inclusion they have.

What brings you the most joy at Meijer?

I live it when I help a customer beyond what they expect and they leave our interaction with a smile.

Pros of working at Meijer

Initially there was a focus on pleasing customers modeling after Fred Meijer’s philosophy.

Cons of working at Meijer

Ignoring obvious store problems caused by shorting departments of adequate staffing due to corporate greed!

Meijer benefits

I loved it when us managers were allowed to problem solve in our own departments. Over time line managers began micromanaging and were the source of department dysfunctions! They were the ones who should have received the layoffs. They were generally useless and were never productive or helped during department crisis. Example: Seasonal overflow in lawn & garden, check lane overflow. Some area team leaders were required to carry 5 department phones. And many times could never take an uninterrupted break or lunch Leading to burn out!

What do you like best about Meijer's CEO and the leadership team?

I had 2 great CEO’s… Roger Bowlby and Mike Burkhardt. They problem solved with me and took my suggestions into consideration. They knew even if I disagreed, my main interest was the Meijer guest, Meijer Inc and of course Meijer employees.

How would you improve Meijer's culture?

I think stopping the fake culture that every Corporate idea is the only right solution. Many company problems began with trying to implement a District Director’s “ from the hip “approach! Perhaps the faulty logic actually originated further up the chain of command and wasn’t a good fit for our store.

How did you prepare for the Meijer interview?

I took my experience as a Meijer customer and explained why I was a good fit for their store! I had recently read Fred Meijer’s book and loved his customer “guest” focus!

What's the diversity at Meijer like?

There was very little diversity at my store. Partly due to a lack of diversity in the nearby community.

What brings you the most joy at Meijer?

Acknowledgement of reaching store goals and having a great team all focused on the same procedures, priorities and having a less pressured daily work environment.

Cons of working at Meijer

I reported my first assistant to HR for his improper tone and interaction with leaders and team members. Subsequently, within 6 months I was fired for under-performing, something I’ve never been told in 25 years of management. I believe it was pure retaliation.
