team members feel welcome upon joining the Meijer team.

continues to care for team members by treating them like family.
For example, Meijer team members are eligible to receive a variety
of benefits, including weekly pay, team member discounts, and

Officer. "Our leaders are not only creating a positive environment
for team members across the company to learn and grow, but they're
doing it in a way that makes Meijer a Great Place to Work® and also
