Pros

Great start for college graduates beginning their career in retail management.

Cons

Promotions are biased according to your DM. If you are one of his favorites, you will get promoted. If you are outspoken, and stand up for what you feel is right, forget the promotion. Hopefully, this only happens in Texas areas.

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.
