Great Place to Work

Recommend

Pros

You get to be yourself. I get to do what I do best everyday. The people I work with are smart, care about each other. There is a culture of caring for the customer that makes me happy to come to work every day. When people don't buy into this part of the culture, they tend to struggle. The number of people I get to meet and talk with every day is amazing.

Cons

Too much food to eat every day. The store is cold. Having to work with some Crew Members who clearly don't want to help customers, they are only in it for the pay and benefits. If you don't like customers, don't work in retail.

Good Job for Benefits, Meeting People

Pros

TJ provides benefits for pt workers (35 hrs.), working side by side with crew members fosters teamwork and socializing opportunities outside of work.

Cons

Culture shift from quirky, customer centric to corporate sterility; continuous management changes as people get promoted they move amongst stores to get a variety of experience (good for them, but they tend to change everything around, which effects crew members (part time). Work life balance for full timers is tough, but they make good money. Crew members have more flexibility.
