Pros

The concept of TJMaxx is perfect For the wondering shopper the company provides a diverse collection of clothing, accessories and hard lines that change on a daily basis. For someone looking for a specific item it can be hit or miss. One thing for certain you can always find something at a great price. Value for your merchandise is what drives the sales.

Cons

Unfortunately it can be distressing as an employee due to lack of professionalism by Management. As Managers retire or leave the company for other reasons the Managers being promoted are too young and immature to handle the job. Egos are way to large or the amount of knowledge they carry. There is too much pressure to fill a position without proper interviewing and training. There are more smoke and mirrors Managers then honest, hard working, pleasant genuine Managers.

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)
