Pros

It's a fairly relaxed environment for a retailer. The benefits are decent and they just opened access to an inexpensive long term disability plan, which I will need considering how many back injuries I got as a stockroom coordinator. Also, Marshalls is essentially recession proof. The more stores that go bankrupt, the bigger we get.

Cons

Retail hours are a bummer (weekends etc). Management plays favorites and the rules don't apply to everyone equally. Salaries aren't equal, some new hires are making more than experienced employees. The discount is only 10%. Marshalls is a multi-billion dollar company and they are always too low on payroll to properly staff the store. So low on payroll they ask the few people they schedule if they'd like to go home and use their sick/vacation time because they are "over payroll".

Pros

The work is the same every day (at least for janitors), and you don't have many surprises. In my experience, there is a lot of leeway for who does what as long as it gets done. I don't personally mind helping out in all departments after I am done cleaning. Current store manager (not asms) is very nice and understanding.

Cons

The management (Assistant managers in my experience) is at each other's throats to be the best out there and suck up to the district manager. The pressure to coerce customers into buying into the TJX card is a bit much. It all trickles down to the front end, which then causes everyone to be unhappy. Compensation is low and raises are based on company loyalty first, then your efficiency.
