Pros

-friendly co workers, everyone greets you and introduces themselves to you, says hi even when they dont know you. they watch each others backs -breaks...not long but thankful for them

Cons

-if this is your first retail job, which was for me, you have a lot to learn on your own. there isnt training, you just watch videos and pretty much learn for yourself. you can ask other associates but you are just placed out there on the spot -set some kind of availability. dont say ur 100% free even if you are because the schedule is everywhere at the worse times. you can get consecutive days one week and another where you get days completely spread out. -employee discount is such a joke. 10%. never seen something so low. this job is a lot of work and very little pay. dont take it unless it is the only thing you have. which was for me until i found an internship. -found a internship after starting at tjmaxx so my availability has changed, except, management isnt approachable. blamed it on me for "stating full availability" yes at the time i did have full availability except your company wasnt the only one i applied to. i wasnt aware or told that each week was going to have a different schedule because i was new and did not know the retail environment. I learned it the hard way... -customers are extremely rude which then gets associates frustrated as well -pretty much no one likes their job, even saw reviews online -breaks are scheduled randomly -the store is super messy. once u fix something, you'll find more mess. it never stops.

Pros

Was easy to apply, Some of the workers were kind and helpful. Employee discount was okay.

Cons

Some parts of managment were harsh. They weren't approachable. Other were kind and wanted to help people grow. They pay wasn't great. Cut my hours during seasonal hiring months.
