It's a good second job, but shouldn't be your full time job unless you're in management. - Anonymous employee TJ Maxx Employee Review

Pros

They are very supportive of training and promoting current employees. The benefits offered to full time and part time hourly employees are fair and in some instances generous. Stores try to maintain a friendly environment amongst the employees and towards the customers.

Cons

The pay is average compared to other retailers and the management environment from store to store varies. If the management style is to 'manage from the office', it's not worth working there at what they'll pay you. Like most retailers, their payroll fluctuates throughout the year. High payroll is usually during summer and winter holidays. During the rest of the year, the stores are staffed almost on a skeleton crew, so having managers that work with you on the sales floor makes all the difference. It can be very stressful if the managers don't support you.

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)
