“The solution we chose had the significant added benefit of serving as a legal e-invoicing platform, which allowed us to more effectively manage the expenses of external consultants. We brought in some of the most tech-savvy team members to become superusers of the new system, and they were able to teach and persuade the rest of the team until everyone could work comfortably in the new technology. I bought an office chair at my local BJ store and it`s falling apart. The thin vinyl surface tears the arms and seat apart. I owned a successful business in New York that was destroyed by 9.11, but our chairs looked good after 8 years. I`m shocked that BJ`s sells such poor quality and it makes me think of other non-perishable items you sell. I asked my local club for a replacement but they told me to call the head office, I did and they told me that the chair could only be returned within 1 year. Shocking!!!! What competing retailers can take offense at, especially when BJ promises “up to 25% off grocery prices,” as is the case on its website and other media platforms. For reasons of legality, reputation and simple honesty, BJ`s must be prepared to substantiate these claims, which requires a mix of business and legal acumen.

“When I walked in, I knew the legal team wasn`t going to let me burn down the house while I learned the ins and outs of retail,” Luce laughs, adding that a long-standing relationship with outside lawyers, the notable Foley & Lardner, contributed to his on-the-job learning. “Thanks to them, I upgraded after almost 15 years in global consulting as a retail lawyer.” “We are proud to work with Graham to help him achieve his goals for BJ`s legal department,” said Tom Russo, President and CEO of doeLEGAL. “Great teams come from great leaders. We are proud to be part of the BJ team. BJ`s was also a general counsel with no retail experience, and when Luce was looking for a steep learning curve, he found it. An already strong and experienced legal team, as well as mentors in other departments, helped acclimatize the new General Counsel. But Luce, with the help of his 12-person legal team and BJ`s communications department, built a preemptive defense that was not seriously challenged. Go ahead and promote prices aggressively and truthfully, he advised the brass. As long as the company can substantiate its claims, it should not be cautious in such a competitive business. Our family joined BJ`s in May 2020. Since that time, we have placed many orders on the side of the road.

Many orders were short-circuited or the wrong item of our orders was delivered to the side of the road. The general manager of the BJ`S store in Madison Heights told us to go to another BJ (I feel like they are NOT interested in fixing operating errors). Jared, the assistant director, said that since I complained, we are NOT welcome at Madison Heights BJ`S Club. “A legal affairs team with limited resources can`t afford to hire subject matter experts for everything,” he says. “Someone who is willing to be a legal professional is more valuable to a small team, to someone who is flexible when it comes to dealing with new problems. Someone smart and intellectually curious enough to see a new problem and say, “Interesting, I want to know what the answer is.” Luce chose doeLEGAL`s ASCENT corporate legal management system, which can evolve over time with the needs of her own team at no additional cost. In addition to implementing e-invoicing, case management, and contract workflow, the ASCENT project team – which is now BJ`s support team – designed and implemented custom templates with radically improved efficiency. Jeff Desroches is Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer of BJ`s Wholesale Club, Inc. M. Desroches was appointed to this position in 2018 and leads all operations, club team members, regional field staff, asset protection, transportation and logistics at the company`s clubs and gas stations. Mr. Desroches joined BJ`s in 2001 as Regional Director of Asset Protection for the Metro NY Market and became Vice President of Asset Protection in 2007.

In 2010, Mr. Desroches was appointed Senior Vice President, Supply Chain. In this role, he was responsible for all aspects of supply chain operations, including domestic and international transportation, reverse logistics, inventory planning and allocation, supplier compliance, master data, and more. Prior to BJ, Mr. Desroches held various operational and warehousing positions at Service Merchandise Company, Inc. from 1993 to 2000 and at Kmart Corporation from 2000 to 2001. He holds a B.S. in Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Administration from American Intercontinental University. BJ`s legal team has faced its own challenges on several technology fronts. When Luce joined BJ`s, he found a legal function that still worked primarily with pen and paper and didn`t use technology to improve efficiency. “Honestly, I was a little shocked by the state of the art in the department,” he recalls. “I felt like I had gone back to the 1980s.” I live in New Jersey, and masks are currently mandatory in all stores.

This is the law, and bjs does not require employees and customers to wear masks, we are in a pandemic and people are getting sick and dying every day from this disease. All other stores have a sign on their doors stating that masks must be worn when shopping or that they are not allowed to shop in the store. Something needs to be done or the Department of Health and Social Services will be notified as soon as possible Although a BJ`s Wholesale Club membership costs only $55, it may not be money for many buyers. Deals abound, but since customers count the pennies, it`s in the camp club`s best interest to communicate how much potential members can save. In addition, the company quickly adopted new technologies to analyze purchase data, for example, and Luce recognized the need for the legal team to stay on top of things to provide sound legal advice. Luce spent the first five years of his career at Boston-based Goodwin Proctor focusing on venture capital, mergers and acquisitions, and IPOs — areas that made him an attractive candidate when Bain decided to professionalize his legal department. Scott Kessler is Executive Vice President, Chief Information Officer of BJ`s Wholesale Club, Inc. He joined BJ`s in this role in 2017 and is responsible for IT to ensure the company has the technology, systems and people to support the company`s transformation. Prior to joining the company, he was Executive Vice President, Chief Information Officer, at Belk, a $4 billion department store chain with nearly 300 stores from 2014 to 2016.

Prior to that, Mr. Kessler was Senior Vice President, Product Technology at GSI Commerce from 2004 to 2013. M. Kessler holds an MBA and a B.S. from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I have been a member for years. The only thing that keeps me as a member is the Pup-a-Roni club, which pays $16.99 per bag. I buy 2 bags a week. plus shopping. Today I asked for a rain check because they didn`t have one and I had two coupons for $3.00 each. The girl had told customer service that they were stopping puppy-a-roni dog treats. (it was at the Levittown New York Store, 5168601371).

I went to the Freeport Store (5163879200). They had a lot of them. Your membership comes to a point where it`s not worth it. I live in a Walmart that is doing a new business with computer orders. Your prices are as low as yours and there is no annual fee. The only reason I go to BJ is for puppy-a-roni dog treats. If the customer service got it wrong, it`s because they`re lazy. Interestingly, when Luce grew up as the son of a lawyer in the town of Farmington in central Maine, he wasn`t initially drawn to the idea of a legal career. His father even encouraged him to take a different path, as he rightly thought that legal work in small towns would not match his son`s restless nature.

An in-house lawyer should assess the risks and opportunities and advise on the risks that are worth taking. My credit card was compromised twice.
