Pros

TJ MAXX prides itself on bringing merchandise to customers at discounted prices, and they are usually able to deliver. This and the easily understand returns policy keeps most customers happy, and makes the jobs of the sales associate much more pleasant.

Cons

The large variety of merchandise in the stores makes it somewhat difficult to keep track of products, as well as difficult for the stores to maintain a neat appearance. Turnover is high, as is most of retail & other positions that employ younger workers. Wages are low (usually on par with the current minimum wage) which can be frustrating. They are low to start but seeing an employee that does not take pride in their job and does not put forth much effort being paid the same wage as an "good" employee is upsetting.
