Pros

10% associate discount, and check cashing at the store. Not alot of growth possible. Hours are very inconsistent. Clearance racks.

Cons

Minimum Wage job. No rest. Shorter shifts to allow them to minimum breaks. Part time was at times 3-4 hours a week. Terrible mid managers. Make you push charge cards with no incentives for doing so. Had to watch a video on why unions are bad and are only out to get money. They are so scared that their workers will unionize and demand higher wages.

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)
