BJ's Wholesale Club reviews

During day shift orientation on Tuesday, I was informed I would start night shift that Thursday. I had not been told this prior. I asked about the training schedule and was informed HR would get back to me. Wednesday during day 2 of orientation I asked again about my schedule and was told Thursday and maybe Friday night for training and then I would report to my scheduled shift on Sunday. From what I gathered everyone is pushed to go to nights the same week they do orientation with no time to adjust your sleeping schedule. This is a problem because it should be disclosed prior to starting. Night shift is short staffed resulting in employees having to work until the job is done... a 10 hr shift turns into 12+ hours a day. Supervisors are stagged with their schedule, but still do 12 hr days. This was not disclosed to me during my interview, as I asked about scheduling and worklife balance. The biggest issue is the lack of safety standards in place for equipment operators. They are allowed to wear hoods which block their peripheral view, not stop at intersections, not look behind themselves when backing up and inconsistently utilize their horns. I felt unsafe walking around the building because of this. When I asked senior leadership about this, I was told it is a culture we have to change. After 2 weeks, I was not provided a training plan and was told it was under review. I was then asked to email them what I learned each day for them the track. They did have a Manager come up from another location to do some training with me and he was great. Despite having yard jockeys on site, Supervisors are required to walk out in the yard and wake up drivers.
