Pros

laidback environment, breakout snack sessions, minimal accountability.

Cons

TOO laidback, benefits are ambiguously gated behind an hours requirement (crew needs 30/hrs week avg for a quarter, but they schedule 80% of the store for about 27 hrs weekly) Management seems aloof and often unprofessional. Ringing a register for 4-5 hours from a shift. TJs essentially goes against it's own mission values by promoting Captains beyond their competency. I'm sure some stores are great but mine in RI was a very poor experience and a terrible introduction to what everyone else seems to think is a great company.

Pros

Great co-workers, decent benefits, usually a fun atmosphere, and mostly good customers. Depending on the location, you get to taste a lot of food for "product knowledge"

Cons

Managers can play favorites, crew members who are more focused on good customer experience get docked for productivity, rude customers can ruin any good reputation you have with managers. Wacky hours/weekends and holidays are busiest.
