Pros

Nice people, although they are mostly nice because they drank the Koolaid

Cons

Safety training is an afterthought. I was hired in as a "crew" member at 37.5 hours a week (they won't guarantee those hours by the way unless you are a slave to a 5 a.m. to midnight availability.) Too many immature "mates" that really don't know how to create a caring staff - they drank the Koolaid for sure. Too much crazy work for someone who wants to be a "grocer." TJ ain't what you want it to be.

Pros

I laugh all day long and have fun while I work. The benefits are amazing and I feel like I'm part of a family. The company does care about the employees and I can see that from the top down.

Cons

It's hard to be a single parent and want to strive for the management level but realize that I can't because the time commitment of the management hours are really tough.
