No high pressure selling required here, but expect the pay to be as casual as the job. - Markdown Associate Marshalls Employee Review

Pros

Not required to pressure customers into buying.

Cons

Was hired for one position, but was actually required to do a little bit of everything. As a 45 year old female, it was scary to be unloading truck shipment 2-3 times per week as a part-timer without the option to purchase health insurance. No 3 month review. 0 feedback on job performance during 6 months of employment there. Work schedule for following week was usually posted only the day before it began. Very little training, and it was very haphazard at that. Even with 10+ years of retail under my belt, most of it being management , was only paid an entry level $7 per hour. Employee discount was only 10%.

Pros

The work is the same every day (at least for janitors), and you don't have many surprises. In my experience, there is a lot of leeway for who does what as long as it gets done. I don't personally mind helping out in all departments after I am done cleaning. Current store manager (not asms) is very nice and understanding.

Cons

The management (Assistant managers in my experience) is at each other's throats to be the best out there and suck up to the district manager. The pressure to coerce customers into buying into the TJX card is a bit much. It all trickles down to the front end, which then causes everyone to be unhappy. Compensation is low and raises are based on company loyalty first, then your efficiency.
