Pros

its really an easy job. They usually work with my school schedule when i give it in enough time.

Cons

75% of the customers are awful and somehow think that tj maxx has a bartering system of some type and because the manager dont wanna argue they usually go against policy to cater to them. My store closes at 930 and we usually don't leave until 1030 or later. If u work the day shift your shift will most likely consist of running racks and running a register if your closing then....God help you.

Pros

it's a job. Its not horrible, but it's not great either. If you are young and just looking to collect a paycheck, then its fine. I am in my early 30's and am looking for a better opportunity.

Cons

The pay is not great, $8 an hour. They dump all kinds of responsibility on you, which wouldn't be bad if they paid more for the increased responsibility. Management only cares about their own asses, and some are condescending. The worst part about this store is the customers, they are absolutely awful.

Pros

A good reason to work at TJ Maxx is that the management and staff are highly dedicated to providing a safe and healthy work environment for their employees and customers. It is a job that allows the employee to remain active in the workplace, without getting dirty or straining themself too hard.

Cons

The greatest downside of working at TJ MAXX was the amount of hours I could work in a week. Most weeks would be 4-8 hours, and some weeks I wouldn't be scheduled for work at all. A 20 hour work week was unheard of for new employees like me. I would deffinitely reccomend having a second job if you intend to work full time or even part time.
