Pros

TJ provides benefits for pt workers (35 hrs.), working side by side with crew members fosters teamwork and socializing opportunities outside of work.

Cons

Culture shift from quirky, customer centric to corporate sterility; continuous management changes as people get promoted they move amongst stores to get a variety of experience (good for them, but they tend to change everything around, which effects crew members (part time). Work life balance for full timers is tough, but they make good money. Crew members have more flexibility.

Pros

This company really does care about its employees. There's a reason why people make a career out of their time here. It is the most fun job I've ever had. They hire amazing, hardworking people with great personalities. Management is always willing to help. Theres fun tastings of new products all the time. Customers are generally always in a good mood. The job is physically demanding, but I am in the best shape of my life lol. They schedule you to change what you're doing every hour, so the 8-hour day goes by fast.

Cons

They can definitely play favorites. The same people get the shifts that they want, and when you first start, you can get stuck closing for quite some time.
