Pros

The environment is entertaining and the workers are great people

Cons

The heavy work load at 5am/12am is very strenuous and the people who do open/close don't get paid any more than the people that don't do anything during the mid-day shift. Management is very bad, and they don't listen to the requests of their employees. It's a very caddy workplace, reminds me of highschool, everyone has an opinion about someone else or how they do things but won't address it directly to them, aka a lot of gossip. Oh, and you basically have to pretend you're happy all the time. The schedule is also very terrible. One day you'll work 9am-5pm to open the next day at 5am, which basically means 3 hours of free time before you have to go to sleep. So your entire sleep structure is destroyed. I would only recommend this job for people trying to get on their feet.

Pros

Our customers are the best reason to work at TJs. Most are very nice and friendly.

Cons

They encourage you to do all the work that managers in other chain stores do, yet you are not compensated for it. They expect you to have 100% open availability and then screw with your hours. Huge amount of favoritism - which may just be my store. Unsafe working environment.
