Pros

If you are a temp they can be very accommodating and you'll get a lot of work if you want it, if you say no to one shift don't be surprised if they don't offer you much. If your face fits the company you will go far even if your not right or experienced enough to really be right for the position.

Cons

They seem to have a training system that breeds terrible managers, I know it sounds like I'm disgruntled but I've worked in three different shops as I've moved round the country, had some great managers, team leaders etc. yet I've also had managers that insult people, gaslight staff, go out their way to destroy confidence and upper management do next to nothing to help resolve situations. I've complained about manager treatment in the past and they just brushed it off as it doesn't matter they have transferred to a different store location. My confidence has gone up and down more than a yo-yo. Why haven't I left? well because I was strung along promised development that has never come, been told you need to this to develop (did it) then told no you need to do this (did it as they said) no you need to this way you've done it wrong (I did it like they told me to do it)> but yeah really depends on which shop you work at really and if your face fits the company.

Pros

Probably the only thing that the pay is decent 10% staff discount events when there is 20% off

Cons

Literally everything. Management attitude towards staff is appalling especially the team leaders and assistant manager with their sly comments and directly insulting you in front of everyone. Unsociable hours and realistic expectations 2-3 persons job to be done by 1 person in an even short space of time that would be given to 2-3people. You are expected to just drop everything and be available to work when told by the managers, also you are not allowed have a life once you join tk maxx. Its funny they go on about mental health day, being supportive but they’ll overwork you and do all these things that will probably make you depressed. I wouldn’t be surprised if someones reason of death were to be tk maxx tottenham hale management!!!!! Because thats how they are making people feel
