Pros

Fast paced, so time moves quickly. Associate discount is 10% off. Flexible with scheduling. Easy to get time off (need to request 3 weeks in advance). They have a fitting room associate organize the recovery.

Cons

If you don’t ask for TJX rewards card they write you down in a negative way. Also, you don’t get any commission in return for trying to get a rewards card. You don’t get commission for trying to sell anything there, so don’t try. They expect on the floor associates to finish putting a tremendous amount of clothes away while backing up registers, covering breaks, and helping every costumer 10 feet away from you. The management is disorganized. If you work there from years on end you can become a manager with no education requirement. There is no gain from this business, for example, if you decided to become a coordinator you get a $1 raise and that’s it. My raise for the past 3 years has been a 27 cent raise, so basically don’t expect a raise because minimum wage will eventually exceed that amount.

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)
