      Pros

      Great salary, great benefits, generous pto, company culture, great food

      Cons

      Shift schedule is sleep depriving, way too much physical work for a management role, high risk of hurting your body and lots of frequent aches and pains. On your feet 10-11 hours day. Hard to do this job for too long until your body breaks down from all the wear and tear.

      Abuse the workers to accommodate the leisure folk. Immature management.

      Pros

      Nice products. Great selection of cheese.

      Cons

      No real stock room... everything delivered to one small room in the back, where it is stacked and put on hold, which is fine for dry goods, but not so much for frozen/fresh/perishable goods. If you work hard, you'll get put on the hardest shift of unloading and stocking. Too many managers/assistant managers and too little real-world department overview. Really, it's mostly hype. TJ's is not that great of a company to work for, no matter how much PR they produce to the contrary.

      Was a great company at one time.

      Pros

      Pay rate is competitive (but not enough to live off of or support a family.) Benefits are decent if you work long enough. Fellow crew members are usually interesting people, and most stores are made up of friends.

      Cons

      Pay rate is barely enough to live on but to much to quit, locks you in. A lot is expected of you and it is very customer-first, the company will not take your side. The upper management and human resources department are nightmares to deal with.
