Pros

The hiring process was very easy. I submitted my application and within a few days I was called in for an interview. The interview was basic and quick. The work itself was fine, nothing special. I liked most of my coworkers. The managers were very understanding about scheduling, seeing that I was in high school and could only work weekends. Once I went to college, I was able to return to my position very easily and I worked at TJ MAXX over my winter and summer breaks.

Cons

The management was not very good. One of my managers was very rude and widely disliked. Employees complained about her multiple times but it never felt like any changes were made. That being said, I'm sure that management practices vary from store to store.

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)
