Pros

If you work with the company 3+ years you will be given the opportunity to become coordinator or key carrier. The company has a very good moral program, rewarding employees with food, jean days, and gift cards. Easy to get friends and family hired if the managers like you.

Cons

Even part time, managers expect open availability and mark down your evaluations if you dont have full availability due to another job or school. If you are seen as having conflicts with coworkers you will need be considered for promotion even if you have a degree. Managers play favoritism. Can't clock in even one second late or it goes against you, unlike most places that have a 3-5 min window to clock in.

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)
