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
