Pros

Ocean State Job Lot continues to grow while other retailers are facing challenges. OSJL opened five new stores in 2017 and completed a successful relocation of one location. OSJL celebrated 40 years of business in 2017 and was recognized by Forbes as a Best Midsize Employer. OSJL is committed to become an employer of choice. I'm proud to work for a company that supports and donates to the communities we do business in. OSJL recently donated 8 million pounds of food which required 200 tractor trailers to move all expenses paid. This is just one example of many philanthropic efforts at OSJL. If you work in the retail industry, I encourage you to consider Ocean State Job Lot if you are looking to grow and develop your career. I have been employed with OSJL over two years and I'm excited to see the direction the company is going. I look forward to many more years with OSJL!

Cons

None. I have had one of the best experiences in my 25 year career in retail.

Thank you. It's always good to hear that our focus is being seen and appreciated. It is not easy and the challenge this year will be all managers staying focused and committed to our values.
