T.J. Minimum - Customer Experience Coordinator TJ Maxx Employee Review

Management makes or breaks this job. Before Rebecca Valera became the store manager, this was my favorite job that I had ever worked. I was promoted 2 months into the job and genuinely enjoyed the culture and work. After she became the manager, everything went downhill. She was EXTREMELY rude to all of the employees, resulting in the turnover rate skyrocketing and several employees, old and new, walking out. Also, the pay is extremely low for the work they expect. This was bearable when the work environment was healthy, but with new toxic management it wasn't even close to being worth it. When I started, pay for associates was $9/hr. I was promoted to Coordinator 2 months in and received a $1/hr raise and an advance on the 6 month $1/hr raise, bringing me to $11/hr. It was the typical "overworked, underpaid" scenario, but I loved the job and the growth within the company looked promising. There is very little regulation of upper management, which can result in exploitation and contamination of culture. I would not recommend this specific location.
