Pros

Coworkers were amazing. I got to work with caring and funny people. Managers recognize hard work and accomplishments Rewarded for good work, they set goals and match them with incentives. They follow through with rewards.

Cons

Discount sucks, though it does double every once in a while. Can get very messy (that's a typical retail thing). Very tiring when closing such a big and messy store. There were some periods where hours were cut and that can be frustrating (especially for those who depend on the 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)
