Pros

They hire anyone with a pulse.

Cons

The job pays pennies. This is one of the lowest paying jobs I ever had the displeasure of working for. Hours will get cut if you do not sell enough credit cards. One week you’ll have 35 hours next week only 12 then week after that you’ll get 6 hours. Managers stand behind you the entire 8 hour shift at cash register telling you to sell more credit cards. If you sell enough credit cards they treat you like a queen and you’re allowed to do whatever you want. Meaning not doing your job, leaving a mess behind for other workers to clean because you are the credit card champion. You can be amazing in your department but if you aren’t selling credit cards you will have your hours cut and they will keep hiring more and more people and giving your hours to them instead. Also certain mangers have zero people skills, they’re either really young coordinators or their above that. And they have a temper problem. If I’m honest I felt too old being there, almost like a babysitter half the time. A lot of the folks they hire are High School kids working their first job, while complaining they don’t want to be there and hiding in the dressing room so they can scroll on their phones. Or they’re older and don’t even need the job, just working to get out the house. It’s not a job for young adults looking to make actual income.

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)
