Pros

its really an easy job. They usually work with my school schedule when i give it in enough time.

Cons

75% of the customers are awful and somehow think that tj maxx has a bartering system of some type and because the manager dont wanna argue they usually go against policy to cater to them. My store closes at 930 and we usually don't leave until 1030 or later. If u work the day shift your shift will most likely consist of running racks and running a register if your closing then....God help you.

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)
