Pros

Most associates I work with are pretty friendly.

Cons

Where do I begin? - There's never any payroll, so there's never any hours - They don't appreciate you. - Doesn't matter how hard you work, if you're a backroom associate, it's VERY RARE that you'll become Full-Time. - (In the store that I work at, which is a high-volume store) they send way more merchandise that can go out. - They (management) expect you to do more than your job description requires

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)
