Pros

some customers are gems and are normally the highlights of the day

Cons

we are forced to sell tjx credit cards and push them on customers, even if they say no. Another cashier who gets a lot of cards basically told me that the best way to get more is by racial profiling. What kind of backwards establishment pushes credit cards on people in low income areas and not to the rich people who come in. They also push the cards heavily on people who do not speak english as a first language, which I have seen often. Because of constant scrutiny I recieved over not selling enough cards I ended up selling a tjx card to a woman who was clearly confused and was not aware it was a credit card until it was too late. My bosses congratulated me over ruining a womans credit. but ok go off tjmaxx

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)
