Pros
Buyer's admins can attend vendor meetings with buyers and voice own opinions, great access to excel training, competitive pay, employees ready to help each other, creativity in encouraged through responsibility for trend research and mood boards, exposure to weekly reports and training into how to read them, as a buyer's admin you get a great understanding of product and best and worst sellers throughout a huge number of brands. The company is also as fair as it can be, if you have to stay late at work, the supervisors ensure you get your time back.
Cons
If you are interested in buying there is not a great route up from buyers admin level, you are required to join the graduate scheme at allocator level and work your way up to assistant merchandiser before you can move across into buying as an assistant buyer. However, if you want a long term career at TK Maxx an understanding of merchandising would be extremely useful for off-price and the graduate scheme provides excellent training.
