      Pros

      laidback environment, breakout snack sessions, minimal accountability.

      Cons

      TOO laidback, benefits are ambiguously gated behind an hours requirement (crew needs 30/hrs week avg for a quarter, but they schedule 80% of the store for about 27 hrs weekly) Management seems aloof and often unprofessional. Ringing a register for 4-5 hours from a shift. TJs essentially goes against it's own mission values by promoting Captains beyond their competency. I'm sure some stores are great but mine in RI was a very poor experience and a terrible introduction to what everyone else seems to think is a great company.

      Pros

      -Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

      Cons

      -Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
