Pros

We receive weekly paychecks. Working with a group of associates, most of the associates that genuinely care about the store. Our store has a great management team.

Cons

1. terrible discount program for associates. 2. Management is overworked, very long hours.3. Favortism in promotion is played by DM. 4. All associates are not held accountable due to the fact of management being scared to counsel due to lack of support by DM and HR. Scared of loosing our jobs.5.Not a very good benefits package,rather expensive,compared to major retailers. 6. Open job listings in other stores, or new stores, not posted- so only the favorites get promoted. You do not even know that there was a job opening until you hear from someone they got promoted!

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.
