Pros

Friendly co-workers and customers, good high-end products for good prices, good work environment

Cons

Low pay generates high turnover and as such the workplace is typically a stepping stone for those fresh out of high school, new to the country, or retirees getting back into the workforce. Also, the employee discount hardly covers tax. If you want full-time work or benefits from the company you must accept a coordinator position or higher, so seniority doesn't play a factor in getting paid well or getting benefits or full-time work from the company. The "cost of living" raises are $.25 or so every year, and when the minimum wage was raised the last time people who were just hired after February were making more than people who had been working there for years, who had been set back to minimum wage because the pay is so low and the raises are so low. Short staffed.

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)
