Meijer reviews

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

That I pros where I was competive in the displays especially when in was Christmas.

That Meijer had a friend ship opportunity rather than a co worker field.

The one year anniversary award.

I meet a famous Basketball player.

I would change that Christmas would have more selections after chromes sales is over the limit for design.

I just came at a date a nd time that worked best for the opportunity itself I dress In a small like suit to become a personal they would respect.

I recommended Meijer to Friends and family daily over text and recording sales credit applications

They all were from different places in life that allowed me to learn.

The hours were only 20 for the week but the co working atmosphere I dreamed over lack my confidence upon upon a time.

None to speak of. Upper management and Store directors do nothing but boss the underdog around and they .are $off our hard work.

Purchases are the only think we have

None

The people

Poor management, not enough staff, and harassment cases get swept under the rug and ignored.

The people

Alot of standing and lifting and I cant do those things because I have a bad back.

The fast paced environment and friendly coworkers. It has been a great job opportunity that has supplied me many benefits.

There isn't a reason I do not like working there.

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.

I like working there because us as coworkers are like family to one another and they will try to help you no matter what.

When they dont listen to what there employee needs or when they know that we were right.

The healthcare benefits they offer all there employee.

The team effort and care from managers

Lack of new equipment, weird cashier suaye

There is always something to do. Working with people.

Very long and hard weekends. No holiday pay.
