Pros

The only pro about working at for this company is the possibility that you may have coworkers that you actually enjoy being around everything else pretty much sucks.

Cons

I had worked at this location in the RIM for a year now and i have not received ONE raise not even a quarter. and according to people who have been there for a long time I will probably never get another raise because it’s like pulling teeth trying to get one out of this billion dollar corporation. During all of this pandemic they claim to care for their associates but in all reality they care about the money. customers are not required to wear a mask or face covering although it is mandated and we cannot refuse them service if they don’t have one on although cases are SPIKING DRASTICALLY. We have a capacity posted and once we get near or hit capacity half the time they still allow people to come in. The lines at the store are crazy long and management hardly ever make customers wait in a line outside due to the number of people inside the store only because the customers complain out having to be outside and then when they get inside complain about social distancing. It’s ridiculous what they let these customers get away with all so they don’t make any complaints because all the manager cares about is the overall satisfaction percentage. Every store has policies they abide by as does TJ Maxx so cashiers are trained with these policies but if the customer makes a big enough fuss they will end up getting whatever they want anyway and the managers reasoning is, and i quote “We don’t want a dock on the OSAT” why put policies in place if you just override the cashiers judgment anyway. The favoritism is completely obvious. They choose people to be in management positions based on how much the associate kisses their behind. No one and when i tell you no one cares or listens to half the managers there because they have no role of authority and the managers who do their job right are a joy to be around and people actually listen and care what they have to say. The managers pull people in during work hours while the store is slammed just to talk to them about getting the customers to apply for the credit card so the managers can get raises when all they do is sit in the office. I once had a 10 hour shift and I saw my manger 1 time because all she did was sit in the office. Those are the people getting paid more than the regular associates. Personally I do the job of 3 people and I will never get paid as much as the manager who sits in the office. I promise this place is NOT worth the time or money or lack there of

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)
