Pros

It is a job opportunity to gain the experience of the retail industry. This job does offer discount incentives to employees, they give back to its local community (Heart Association, Autism Speaks, Feed the Hungry, Cancer Society and etc.). Benefit package is excellent. This company is #101 on the Fortune 500 list so it is very profitable.

Cons

The turn overrate is very high due to favoritism, micromanaging, and minimum promotion within. If you are looking to get promoted within a reasonable time this would NOT be a great opportunity. It is all about WHO you know and NOT what you know even though you are well-experienced and have trained managers who are managing you. There are currently store managers and assistant managers who just was promoted after 10 to15+ years of experience with this company. This shows that the promotion rate is not great and hopefully the CEO of this company look into better opportunity for their dedicated associates who has put in blood, sweat, and tears into this company.

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)
