      Pros

      It is a fun place to work, a true family atmosphere. Pay is really reasonable and competitive for a grocery store, the job is pretty straightforward. It's pretty physical and demanding but it's a good workout which you will need because you get to try all kinds of yummy TJ's products!

      Cons

      Favoritism, poor communication from management to crew. Work is very hard on the body. Tends to be a lot of crew members who have been there for forever and have their pay capped out, they have an attitude of entitlement and have lost their desire to care even though they make a crazy amount for stocking shelves. Training to become part of management is a pretty bad experience, not a lot of direction and you feel lost a lot.

      Pros

      Friendly customers always make my day, sincere coworkers are enjoyable. Opportunity for advancement and a real career.

      Cons

      The full timers seem to get an attitude once they are elevated above the part time team members - as if they have forgotten their part timer history! Some back biting, bad mouthing, and general disrespect shown to co-workers can be a real moral buster.

      Pros

      flexible hours, good benefits if you work enough hours, good retirement contribution, get to meet a lot of interesting people, good food

      Cons

      lack of communication, lack of proper management, a lot of hypocrisy, a very "do as I say, not as I do" management style. no standards or accountability for work. not enough time to accomplish the work that is asked of you.
