Pros
In my area: the pay is GREAT (starting off at $9/hour). Flexible shifts "Family" feeling/comraderie between staff 10% associate discount Always getting to know what is in style a.s.a.p. (if that is important to you) If you're full time, you get great benefits and paid vacation It is easy to advance in your career as long as you put effort into your work and care about the store.
Cons
Rude/ridiculous customers Deadlines you have to meet that are sometimes unrealistic Business during holidays Sometimes management can be a real pain and totally forget what it's like to work in non-management jobs Customers "trashing" the store and then it's "your fault" Overall, there are not really downsides of working for TJ MAXX-- it's usually customers that put a damper on my day.
