Pros

I made enough money to make car payments and pay for gas while I was completing my bachelors degree. Some of my managers were kind and generally nice people to be around. I've heard about worse places to work. The company seems to be doing well and I appreciate their overall rules for procedures and work time and their values when it comes to lgbt and other minorities.

Cons

Even though I worked very hard and was serious about my job for six years, I never felt like my managers took me seriously. I got very little recognition for when I went above and beyond. I feel like older people sometimes got more recognition for simply doing their job. People get hired and quit very frequently. This includes managers, so you constantly have to readjust to your job. Some of those managers and associates are very difficult to deal with... Just remember it's all temporary.

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)
