Pros

I enjoy the people I work with, flexible hours, and the opportunity to work in different areas of the store.

Cons

Associates are extremely overworked, because there is never enough payroll. The "regulars" are some of the worst customers. Managers are extremely unprofessional. If you are not a favorite among the managers do not plan on getting very many hours. "The open door policy" only turns into he said she said.

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)
