Inexperience shows
So much experience is gone from BJ's, employees have tasks that are difficult to perform because they don’t have the knowledge and let’s get real - there’s no one capable to show them or to even learn from. No one takes pride in the work they do... — read more
Why am I hearing about more cuts?
Is this coming from unsubstantiated rumors by (rightfully) nervous employees or is there more behind it? I don't understand how they could even consider more cuts considering how understaffed we are now, following the last round. I don't think it... — read more
What changes have you seen
At my store: no front end supervisors, usually one person running self checkout who now has to also help cashiers. When I work a full front door shift, I’m told there is no one to cover my breaks. I don’t understand really, because I was “trained”... — read more

Such an awful company to work for for many different reasons.
The way they treat their employees is honestly disgusting. I was a Produce Supervisor in my club. Now, I've been demoted to just a clerk. It was either take that or lose my job. We work hard to earn our place, then they just spit on us and rip... — read more
I don't mind that I was laid off
