BJs is a bunch of great people working for idiot managers controlled by profit mongering corporate overlords who have seemingly never stepped foot inside a club, but will take away resource after resource while expecting you to perform at or better than previous months. Pound foolish indeed
What makes you most happy at work?
It's' a hard place to find happiness.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The crew has each other's back..unless you're a manager or manager in training, then you are taught good management is busting people and you are rewarded for snitching and entrapment
What are some of the best things about your team?
THe people working at BJS are good, hard working people. the ones who can stick it out have a desire to not leave the others in the dust and try to enact change....they eventually are fracked out or leave in turmoil
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
There is no leadership. The management at BJS has no desire to grow or nurture talent. They enforce the arbitrary goals handed down to them from corporate. Most management are just the idiots who stuck around long enough. Promoted because they were there, not for being qualified. Idiots mostly.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
BJs changes ownership every other year or so. the new owners need to put their stamp on the running of the stores and assume waste and inefficiencies. THey come in and. tighten already suffocating policies and make it even harder to do your job while they demand better results
What did you like most about the interview process?
Everyone talks a good talk, though if you look beneath the surface the manager interviewing you is following a script. They have no idea what they are supposed to be looking for and just want a warm body in the position. They hire unqualified people then berate them into meeting their goals.
