The position that I work at within BJ's Wholesale Club is: Member Services. This is an admin position, company/club liaison position, tracking stock, and sales position; for our Master Card program. The stores are called: clubs, the work force are team members, and the clientele are club members. It's a good company to work with in that they look for potential and are ready and willing to promote within, and up. The workforce is international, and varies with many age groups; also employing those team members that may be challenged physically or mentally. I find this aspect of BJ's very rewarding.

The position at Member Services is very fast paced, and you will find yourself juggling many demands at once. All which do get completed. Speed in service is key with BJ's. Keeping the line down at Member Services is a serious focus. Making sure that all receive a very positive experience, and quality care are utmost in mind, when working with the club members. This is why there are club members that have renewed their membership for 25 years.

Memorial Day is a day full of remembering our loved ones whom we lost who have served - friends, family, fathers, sons, mothers, daughters, brothers & sisters - and on this day, we honor each and every person who made the ultimate sacrifice.

I asked some of us here at Jobcase to share what Memorial Day means to them. Here’s what they said:

Ashley: “To me, Memorial Day is a day for admiration towards those that made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. It also means much more than just honoring those who died for their country on one particular day, but a reminder that we should appreciate those people every single day of our lives.”

Katie: “Memorial Day is for remembering those who have served for our country and my grandpa, who was a WWII vet.”

Brian: “For me, Memorial Day is about spending time with the people I love who have served and remembering those who have sacrificed.”

Jason: “Sometimes we take for granted the freedoms we enjoy here in the United States, but they have not come without a price and have been earned through the sacrifices of those in the armed forces.”

Laila: “Memorial Day is a day for quiet reflection and remembrance for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. My heart goes out to anyone who misses the companionship of someone who lost their lives in military conflict. I do not grieve the loss of anyone today, but I do know many who were hurt or changed by their experiences in combat. I have no doubt they also grieve for lost friends and I will try to support them as best I can.”

Esther: “I have family members that have sacrificed for this country, some people who have lost their lives, and seen the hurt of their families, and the adjustments that they then have to make. Having a day to memorialize that means that there is honor and respect for those people.”
