Pros

flexible work schedule, a very modest discount, you barely have to think at work if that is something that appeals to you, employer is Code Adam certified (for missing children in store).

Cons

supervisors talk about you behind your back or in front of your face to other employees. quit for this. supervisors belittle you when you ask for proper pay. Or literally laugh and walk away. other teammates are broken by being treated horribly and it's hard to stay positive employer cuts as many corners as possible, with merch, with employees. employer makes you watch "anti union" propaganda upon hire employer makes you sign arbitration agreement (i.e. you cannot sue them)

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)
