BJ's Wholesale

What is BJ’s Wholesale

BJ’s Wholesale is a membership warehouse club that has over 190 different clubs from Maine all the way to Florida. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to join and become a member.  The appeal of being a club member is that you can save over 30% on every item in store, including all national brands, organic and natural foods and USDA choice meats. In addition to fresh produce, baked goods and meats, BJ’s has a large selection of home appliances, office supplies, clothing, health and beauty products, and much more. BJ’s also accepts all manufacturers coupons, plus their own coupons, and has Optical and Gas departments as well. There are three levels of membership, the first two being private and business at $50 a year, and the last being rewards at $100 a year.

Working at BJ’s

BJ’s warehouses employee approximately 24,000 team members in various departments. BJ’s provides its employees with a Friday breakfast or dinner, and three breaks during a shift that is approximately 8.5 hours.  The general reviews among employees report that co-workers seems to get along very well and there isn’t much competition, so the atmosphere is friendly and helpful. There is also an employee discount of an unlisted percentage on all products in the store. There don’t seem to be many benefits for part-time employees, and full-time workers will start to receive benefits after one year. According to the reviews, general flexibility in schedule is very limited and the work can be last minute call-ins, which make having a set schedule outside of work hours quite difficult. Advancement within the company has been listen as very political and based on social rather than professional standards. Overall, the employee reviews show that BJ’s is a good, steady place to work temporarily, but is not an ideal location for a set career.
