Pros

Obviously the discount is great, you have a lot of repeat customers so you're able to learn about them and get a stronger connection, you get to see clothes before they're put on the floor and can sometimes hold them for purchase which I think is fun. You become close with the people you work with, I literally met my best friend working at TJ

Cons

I think some downsides are that its mostly females working at TJ and sadly with that comes a lot of petty and catty behavior, in my personal experience. I also personally was not a fan of offering the credit card to every customer, I would have regulars who didn't want to get the card and management would still make me give them the whole speech and I could tell it annoyed the customer.

Pros

The work is pretty self explanatory and not too difficult. The 10% discount is kind of nice too, plus if you work in the back you get to see what new stuff is coming out on the floor and you can save it if you think you're gonna buy it.

Cons

Management isn't that great. The coordinators work really hard but there's a lack of communication between them and management-and I think it's because of management. Some of the employees who have worked for a long time will sometimes feel the need to constantly tell you what to do or basically micromanage you-even if you know what you're doing or if someone in management told you to do it. COVID-19 protocol doesn't seem that important. I had to work right next to other employees because the working environment was so crowded that you couldn't even get out if there was a fire (backroom). There is also a HUGE pressure to get customers to buy a Rewards credit card and the managers will sometimes make you feel kind of bad if you haven't gotten any while working up front.

Pros

If you enjoy customer service it can be fun sometimes. You get a 10% associate's discount for all TJX stores (including Marshalls and Home Goods)

Cons

They expect the most in terms of customer service and soliciting credit card applications while paying unlivable wages and making sure no one gets enough hours to qualify for benefits. They reward strong performance with dollar store snacks and coupons instead of bonuses or promotions.
