Pros

The assistant store manager pay scale is respectable , and well above respectable when you consider it’s retail.

Cons

Everything else. - zero work life balance (10-12 hr days, every day) - 4th quarter of the year they work you like a dog - never enough payroll to staff the store and complete any tasks -customers are god awful and treat the store like it’s their trash can -predatory selling of a high interest credit card is required and don’t let your store not hit its goal. Your DM that is 20 years removed from the store itself and detached from reality comes down hard -no work life balance at all -no thanksgiving or Christmas with families if you don’t live in the same city as your family. -only thing the company cares about is selling credit, staying under your labor budget and meeting sales

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)
