Pros

20% discounts. Depending the size of your store it can be very slow so their isn't always too much work to do. Their is opportunity to get low level promotions occasionally.

Cons

They are either over staffed or understaffed. For the first 2 years I worked here we closed early on certain holidays. Now we are open till close Labor Day, 4th of July and New Years. We used to close at 6 p.m. on Sundays Now it's 8p.m. Corporate seems to care less and less about employees every year. Extreme favoritism with management and certain employees. You are expected to work for a low wage and force customers to open a crappy credit card and get barely any compensation for doing so. Always being pushed to sell the credit card. Always low payroll. Part timers expect to work 1- 2 days one week then 5 days the next week you'll NEVER have a consistant schedule. After holiday season expect no hours until Summer. Every year you get a small .30 cent raise. Not a job that you could live off even if your were full time. Their idea of full time is 32-35 hours a week for low pay.

Pros

The work is the same every day (at least for janitors), and you don't have many surprises. In my experience, there is a lot of leeway for who does what as long as it gets done. I don't personally mind helping out in all departments after I am done cleaning. Current store manager (not asms) is very nice and understanding.

Cons

The management (Assistant managers in my experience) is at each other's throats to be the best out there and suck up to the district manager. The pressure to coerce customers into buying into the TJX card is a bit much. It all trickles down to the front end, which then causes everyone to be unhappy. Compensation is low and raises are based on company loyalty first, then your efficiency.
