Pros

Nice discount on products. Have a great Store Manager.

Cons

An employee handbook that is NOT followed. Hours cut because some other store went over. Stop theft with only one manager and one cashier on duty. Manager is usually working the register and unable to do the things that need to be done. Expected to clean the store and zone with only one person avail. The list is to long to type out. Cons are the same as every other employee has listed.

Pros

-20% discount -med, dental, vision benefits -20-ish minimum hours per week -genuinely can be a fun store to work in when run well

Cons

-store managers have little to no oversight and cross professional boundaries often - hr is ineffective, document everything yourself, report to the EEOC -growth opportunities in the store are very limited and they will lowball you no matter what you do or sacrifice -crazy turnover because the expectations are unrealistic store managers lie about pay budget to everyone -more likely to hire teens and students because they are easier to take advantage of for little pay, only needs adult for when teens and students cannot work (night shifts, school days) - nearby stores, especially if in a strip mall or shopping center, like tj maxx have higher base pay, better benefits, better security, and more hour availability
