Pros

You get to do a lot and are not stuck in one task. The benefits are amazing. The people they hire are almost always knowledgeable and friendly.

Cons

The job is labor intensive and you are on your feet the whole time.

Pros

Pay and benefits and 401 plan.

Cons

Inconsistency with all levels of management.Some are ok at best,while others are horrible. Very rarely is there one that actually meets the standards of their income and title.Some in upper management really have absolutely no idea how the store runs day to day,often relying on others below them to make it all happen.When problems mount up over time,they are just transferred to another store and the cycle starts all over again....Of course work schedules in retail are terrible.Can be even worse at TJ's.Almost impossible to keep their employees healthy with such demanding work hours.Despite all this..I still work here.Shows how bad the economy is these days.
