Pros

- You meet great people - If you like fashion, you get first pick! - good health benefits - climb the ladder quickly, unfortunately its a ladder to nowhere.

Cons

- For a multi-billion dollar company, you wonder why some stores look so run-down - no benefits for PT and very low pay increases. - You're always changing the store around, which seriously irritates the customers at times, and even you - full-time hours are at 30, and sometimes you struggle to get those - they blatantly prefer PT workers over FT because they are cheaper, especially over the holidays. They would ironically have all the coordinators off on holidays and double up on cheaper labor. - Policy changes SO often that customers have NO idea how to return items. and employees can't keep up during certain "roll outs" of policy experimentation. - Customer Service/Company does NOT back up their knowledgable employees when it comes to taking back merchandise. Which makes management turn into push overs and your staff look like idiots.

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)
