Pros

Great staff and management. Ensured you got breaks. Management would always encourage you to pass a disgruntled customer on to them stating ‘they get paid more to deal with that’.

Cons

On your feet all day and LOTS of walking. Occasional long shifts up to 14+ hours. Minimal team building and awful customers- like the worst customers of any retail environment. They would complain if you were allowed a seat when working as a greeter on a 14+ hour shift. 2 coworkers and a manager were physically assaulted by upset customers on different occasions. Very small discount- 10- doesn’t even cover tax.

Pros

The idea of family is there, we kind of felt like it a little, but of course some people spoil the bunch and management didn't do much about them. They really just needed bodies whether they were helpful or not. I liked having the 10% discount at all TJX businesses. (including spouse/family). They even had quarters that we would have 20% discount weekends.

Cons

They really just needed bodies whether they were helpful or not. Most workers were worthless. I liked that management gave workers autonomy, but some took advantage of that and would even just sleep in the back way past their break time.
