Pros

Great relationships with other employees. The regular customers are always so nice. Insurance and 401k coverage is very well for a retail job. Discounts for cell phone company's, computers, etc are a plus and take advantage of them

Cons

In order to succeed into management here, you MUST have a very good manager that cares about their employees just as much as their sales. So many part time and full time coordinators get pushed and bullied around by management just so they can earn their sale bonus. Management needs to be what they're supposed to be.. Leaders. Train your people, teach them the food and bad of management, and freaking reward them with promotions and training classes. Don't give up on them for their mistakes and bully them.

Pros

-flexible and accomodating hours - good partime job for college student - very neutral experience, but the fact that it wasn't terrible makes it a pro -10% employee discount

Cons

-lower pay than other retail places ($12 when I was there) - general cons that just come with retail (rude customers, boring tasks, etc.) - store is constantly being rearranged, and is also disorganized on purpose so customers have to search through/look at more things to find what they are looking for -CONSTANTLY having to push the TJ Maxx credit card and having managers literally walk by to make sure you are - can't wear t-shirts or any graphic tees including ones in the store (which always bothered me because if they can sell it I should be able to wear it)
