Pros
You get 2 days you can request off after 6 months
Cons
raises hardly ever given, union contract is a pack of lies in favor of the employer they work for them not you. After 700+hr you are suppose to get a very small raise every time they will tell you this but it never happens after the first 2 raises, management lies it is how they got there. Store directors are the biggest sack of liars, they have no emotions but one and that is rage against the employees. Oh did I mention this is apparently union, they 100% of the time side with management even when it is a osha violation like asking you to work off the clock, or stacking pallets on their sides, and retailation is common, do not listen to their promises of a open door policy, it is not. Forget about direct deposit they will not pay you if you switch to it, they will play dumb and they will not help you set it up if you need help doing that with their broken series of websites that were designed by a 12 year old on slave labor over seas. Oh and if you work 40+ hours every week they don't label you full time ever(worked there 2+ years every weak 40+ hours), union will not save you. Union reps will retailate. Constantly told never to take breaks despite being in a union. The union is a lie, everything they say is a lie, they are just a piggy bank for meijers only caring about the amount of money they steal from you. Health care system you can only sign up for within a few weeks of being hired. security constantly accuses everyone of stealing, random searches are almost always conducted. Stocking standards must be meet at 70 cases/hr put on the selfs or else. Very few coworkers, refuses to hire more employees even when it is obvious they need them. What few coworkers there are have been there 10+ years and are always favored over any newer coworkers, (they don't do anything in other words). Dead end job, they don't promote you they hire you in at the position and you stay there for ever. The benefits coverage is very cheap but it covers nothing, and requires constant drug screening tests to try to get you off of it, they steal your money, and if you get injuries management will refuse to file the report and you will never get your disability they claim you get, they will refuse to do anything even if you are seriously injuries unless you are in their favoritism group. They will lie how you got injured to cover their own. If you are on nights you are stuck there for ever, they will lie to you constantly about moving you over, and if you try to become a manager again they will lie despite this being against company policy to do.
