What does みてえじゃ in this sentence mean?
みてえじゃねえか is an unrefined expression of みたいじゃないか. It is frequently used in an
ironic sense, so be careful to read the context.

It's just another example of the `ai`-to-`ee` sound change found mainly in
dialectal or male speech, which is described
[here](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/99/5010) and
[here](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/13073/5010).

困ってるみてえじゃねえか is the same as 困ってるみたいじゃないか.

In case you don't know みたい, see
[this](http://www.jgram.org/pages/viewOne.php?tagE=mitai).
