[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they treat you well as an employee?[/quote]

They used to. These days no, and there are lots of whispers of unionizing. Pay is above minimum wage, but raises (and pennies half a year, if that) are capped and not congruent with inflation. The minimum hours for benefits has increased considerably over the years, 401k contributions decreased, and the work is very physical and often backbreaking. Everyone I know deals with some kind of on-the-job pain, from back pain to shoulder strain injuries to severe carpal tunnel. Hazard pay (pandemic related) has stopped, included covid pay if you must be out sick. Overtime pay is nonexistent, and many are looking for other jobs.

TJs used to have a reputation for treating their employees well, but they're riding out that rep while rapidly decreasing morale. This is, sadly, a common attitude among employees. Years ago they used to treat employees quite well.

That's really disappointing ti hear.  I thought they had a rep of being a good place to work.  I've worked places that were unionized and it was so, so much better (we always got our breaks, were not schedule to clopen).[/quote]
