Pros

My coworkers are still the best part of working for TMW because we become a family. I like that Its not a job where you have to wear a uniform and can be proud of being your self in that environment. The management meetings in CA are fun sometimes too.

Cons

Because of the economic problems TMW has become just like all other companies that use the threat of termination to force results out of co-workers. They hire bullies for managers now and they don't care about the people anymore. They force you to act like your having fun, they force you to push products and services that are inferior and pretend like they are great and they force you to work on off days or else face termination. I hate working there and yet there is no where else to go. By the way the tuxedo rental business is a disaster waiting to happen and the only ones that know that are the actual people who run it.

Pros

When I was here the discount was still mostly okay (went from 60% and 70% during the holidays to 55-65%), and you had the option to essentially put items on layaway out of your check, so you didn't have to have the total up front to be able to build a professional wardrobe if you were a male employee. The environment was chill and laid back in stores not operating on a cutthroat commission pay structure, at least back then. Most employees not in major cities were college-aged kids or just graduated, looking for part time work who could get along well. The duties were easy 95% of the time. Good training opportunities for management.

Cons

I started here when George was just getting pushed out. Several of the key draws/benefits were either shrunk or taken away after George left. The discount was reduced, the employee holiday parties went away (at least for some stores) and the employee clubhouse was taken away.
