Pros

Good clothes. Worked with my schedule as I had 2 jobs. One good manager, great other associates. I really liked the people I worked with. Funny and smart, made the time pass fast. I was good hanging up stuff and unloading the truck but hated the fitting room. Boring. The older white lady that works in jewelry was cool and she helped me a lot when I did have to work fitting room. She was Audra I think. All the other managers in the areas I worked were real nice and taught me aloot except the main manager.

Cons

I couldn't juggle 2 jobs. 1 black manager awful to white employees but I am black. Low pay. Gossip in the office and no communication. Manager was so rude and I heard her yell at the white associates over and over until I had to tell them how bad it made me feel for them. I have had lots of p/t jobs but never one where there was a manager that was so racist aginst whites. I have been in their shoes and it's awful to get so upset you gotts cry. I had that at another job. Glad to be gone.

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)
