Pros

1. The salary of a TJX store manager is amazing 2. Great benefits (Health, Vision, 401k, Vacation) 3. Great yearly Bonus 4. Can find some amazing manager team members.

Cons

1. Overkill and high performance expectations. If you don't meet the goal you can look forward to being hounded regularly. Other stores cheat and give 10% just for applying and not approving. So operating with integrity may not get you the desired results. 2. Payroll is always an issue. You receive a shipment of 5 to 12 pallets 7 days per week, and payroll doesn't increase. Not even hire sales increase payroll. 3. During charity campaigns, you are made to feel like you should donate in order to reach the company set goal. 4. You are constantly made to hire, even if it isn't needed and payroll can't support it. Then associates quit, due to no hours. Higher up want to address your turn over, well over hiring and payroll is the issue. 5. Lots more cons. Running out to time.

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)
