Pros

Everyone you work with is friendly, like a big family. Good wage(under 16). Reasonable with taking holidays.

Cons

Some people that want to be contracted more hours don't get contracted them, even if they work those hours regularaly which could be a pain when booking off holidays, also new staff are taken on even though some colleugues will do more hours.

Pros

Having staff discount and receiving a bonus in vouchers so that it was tax free.

Cons

You are expected to be in 5 places at once, I.E putting stock out, being on tills, being on fitting rooms and tidying the shop floor. You spend hours everyday tidying your department for it to be trashed again at which point a manager will walk past and tell you to sort it out.

Pros

work is straight forward Best 3.0 makes everything much easier for associates. An enjoyable place to work

Cons

My store manager is absolutely useless at his job and is paid ridiculously to sit in the systems office. When he does finally come out (usually a few minutes before he has to leave) he then irritates all members of staff The Company rarely hire from within so there are hardly any opportunities for associates to progress despite hiring from within being the most sustainable and best option in providing knowledgeable and hard working employees in my opinion. This leaves associates in a 'dead end' situation so therefore they aren't bothered about the job its just a job to them. Give your associates something to work for and you will see change. The company hire people who have never worked in a tk maxx store to produce "new and exciting" ways to run the business however they are usually totally worthless and simply do not function in a store. Despite this the company consistently pumps useless ideas into stores that rarely work as the brainiacs behind the ideas haven't worked a day in a store and therefore have no idea what they are doing. Money down the toilet. The payroll is so tiny the work is stressful and hard which associates are rarely rewarded for. On that note there are little to no reward schemes for working hard sometimes an svc card is given out for entries onto the EPC form but apart from this hard working associates go unnoticed.
