      Very disappointing experience

      Pros

      Decent pay and great benefits

      Cons

      Complete lack of training for incoming mates. I came with a wealth of experience and felt as if I was being "hazed" for the duration of my tenure, especially from the captain, who was very old school. Very cliquish atmosphere. I can attest that the great "vibe" the public sees as shoppers is far from what TJ's really is.

      Pros

      Great customers, usually fun people to work with

      Cons

      The company gives in to bad ideas by people who have little to no knowledge about our products and can barely do the minimum required of them. They make huge changes every year that take away benefits, change store structure, and confuse the employees. If you are part time, and you are an excellent employee, you get the same raise as someone that just shows up to work. It takes too .long to get rid of employees that don't work hard enough. They are promoting people that don't know the basics of grocery.
