Pros

*This review is for the Common Area Team Leader position* - Weekly pay - 401K - Opportunities for growth - Employees generally friendly to one another - Full time hours guaranteed for leadership

Cons

- Little to no training for team leaders - Lack of training causes unnecessary stress and uncertainty in the workplace - Former position was phased out and I was forced into a higher position with more work and responsibilities at the same rate of pay - Low morale - Lacks competitive pay - Senior leadership often unprofessional - Job loading: Common area team members are often forced to work in every department at the request of the store director, so you are always playing catch up in your own area. As the leader, you will be forced to manage your area, all of general merchandise, sometimes the grocery and produce departments, you will have to become duty trained (in the absence of the store director, you become the manager in charge of the store), and you are placed in charge of orientation processes. - At any given moment, you can be forced to help another store in another city or state at the discretion of your market director - Micro-managers run rampant - Meijer is a job not a career

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.
