Pros

The management is helpful with schedule flexibility and the employees get a ten percent discount on purchases made at any of the TJX stores.

Cons

They have a "trial by fire" type of cross-training of jobs. I started as a seasonal employee and things were already very busy in the store, but I felt ineffectual at times. I was also made to feel that asking questions was a sign that I couldn't handle a job.

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)
