Pros

The company does well on time off requests and flexible schedules and being mindful on that we are all human and are late and have other things going on besides work

Cons

I worked for the Company for 4 Years and when it’s time for them to choose who to promote they are so blind. When promoting a key carrier they had 2 great choices and 1 bad and they chose the bad. This person constantly had complaints against them by associates and customers the only reason they were promoted was people they had so many credit cards. Also each store is different and I worked at the store with the biggest stock room in the area and they stuff product in by the maxx. They company is only worried about selling product and not taking into consideration just how small each store is my store towards the end was receiving so much freight that we were putting boxes and boxes on the floor and not to mention we do not have enough things to bring them out on and is a lifting hazard for the employees

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)
