Pros

The assistant store manager pay scale is respectable , and well above respectable when you consider it’s retail.

Cons

Everything else. - zero work life balance (10-12 hr days, every day) - 4th quarter of the year they work you like a dog - never enough payroll to staff the store and complete any tasks -customers are god awful and treat the store like it’s their trash can -predatory selling of a high interest credit card is required and don’t let your store not hit its goal. Your DM that is 20 years removed from the store itself and detached from reality comes down hard -no work life balance at all -no thanksgiving or Christmas with families if you don’t live in the same city as your family. -only thing the company cares about is selling credit, staying under your labor budget and meeting sales

Pros

I guess being able to see what's in the back. You can find some good stuff before the customers do (but you can't shop on shift), the pay is weekly, schedule accommodations are pretty good so a work life balance isn't too hard, you get a discount

Cons

Discount is like ten percent, and it's usually supposed to be 20% The first of the month is what I was told when I first got this job, but in reality, it's just whenever the higher ups feel like administering a twenty percent off weekend. Highlight the weeknd part! no pay raises fr they'll often lie and say that they're doing a survey in the area to see if they could pay us more.It's never gonna happen, and the one time I did get a raise it was like 40 cents. they mess up payroll a lot ( so often your shifts get cut). there are some employees that have been working here for like twenty plus years, and they're still making, like roughly twelve to thirteen dollars god forbade you're someone not from here, that doesn't speak English. They'll literally pay you like ten dollars an hour Managers don't have good communication They don't train you fr Not to mention, you have to clock out for your lunch so no paid lunch. The customers are plentiful and most are either entitled or chill, and you have to sell credit cards and you don't even get commission for it. So even if you do sell a credit card, you literally just get a shout out over the intercom. And they breathe down your neck about it. Not to mention the credit card is bad. corporate doesn't care about us, and every tjmaxx and marshall's is like this,
