Pros

TJX as a whole is a great company to work for. The benefits are great & they promote a healthy work - life balance. Although moving up from merchandise associate to coordinator to key carrier may seem beneficial , it has just as many stresses as it does perks. The workload can become overwhelming for oneself. The increased pay does not align with the increased stress. I would also say a lot of stress depends on the management. If you have a great management team , you’ll most likely love your job & look forward to work everyday. Before moving up , talk to those who are already there & get their opinions on advancing your career in retail before proceeding to do so.

Cons

- Stress - Lack of hours after holiday season - Lack of proper training

Pros

Decent coworkers, easy tasks, fine hours

Cons

Managers did not cooperate with me in terms of scheduling as a student (i was scheduled 30 hr weeks several weeks in a row despite communicating that I could not work that much because of school) and I felt like I was expected to bend over backwards for awful customers on a regular basis. Also, when district managers would come in for their yearly review the store managers would enact insane policies to make us look good to district that were never implemented otherwise (i.e. we weren't allowed to drink water on the store floor, even if you were on the register for an entire 8 hour shift.) I also did not like being told to continue aggressively pitching the company credit card to customers who had already told me several times that they were not interested, I feel this created a negative relationship between the customer and employees.
