TJ Maxx is great for a part time or side job, but the benefits and recognition you receive are zero to none. - Merchandise/Sales Associate TJ Maxx Employee Review

Pros

Flexible hours, personal time off

Cons

Minimum wage, $.25 raise every year, horrible work environment, unsanitary store, associates have to wait nearly a year to be trained on returns which "pees" customers off when there is a long line and only 1 or 2 cashiers can do returns

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)
