Pros

They used to be kind and understanding when I started, but that ends quickly

Cons

They’re vary manipulative. The managers are extremely rude and makes associates feel unwelcome and unwanted. They act like it’s a safe place, but it’s not. The badger their associates to get credits cards everyday, and when we don’t, we get threats about how our hours are going to be cut and how we will get write ups. You can’t force someone to get a credit card when they keep saying no, it doesn’t work that way. If you manage to scheme a soul into signing up for the credit, they say, “good job, get 2 more!” It is absolutely ridiculous. Recently they started giving associates one day a week, or none at all. And today they called associates to their office to yell at them about their credit card performance. A few people left crying. That’s not a safe environment, and I’m happy I’m quitting

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)
