Pros

Flexible schedule; work in different areas of the store, occasionally being able to help customers if approached. Two 15 min. breaks for a full day and a 45 min. lunch break ... good amount of time as compared to other retail stores.

Cons

Low pay, more emphasis on "loss prevention" than customer service & satisfaction; not really "trained for different areas of the store but just thrown into the position, being expected to know what to do"; no positive comments just negative when something is done wrong; being treated as "just another number" - the store having 75 employees. High rate of theft especially among employees; not appreciated; being watched by cameras!

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)
