Pros
- Interesting, kind coworkers - Great insurance (after three months, and who knows how long they keep that) - Good if you have trouble with boredom. - Who needs a workout when you walk 18,000 steps a day?
Cons
- Culture varies widely by store - Corporate decisions during the pandemic led to massive numbers of preventable, crew illness and some deaths - CEO would rather nickle and dime the staff to make himself richer - The company used to have a promote from within viewpoint, so now store level management is full of poorly educated white men who are complacent, lazy, and often sexist and racist. They are not trained as managers but act like tiny dictators. - Most stores have lost MANY of their mid "career" crew (the 3-7 year veterans) because the company pays new hires more. This will result in a long term deficit of people who were trained to care and work within the TJ system. The longer term veterans can't leave because while they feel trapped at a capped out wage, they feel like they can't do better.
