Pros

The employees you work with are friendly and that makes for a good work environment.

Cons

It should be stated before you're even officially hired and accept the job what would be required of you. I was hired as a cashier but even when I went on my break, I was obligated to walk around the store cleaning up items off the floor, looking for empty packages or tags torn off of merchandise that people had stolen, picking up clothing that might've fallen off the hanger, checking the bathrooms and cleaning them if they weren't clean. The company wasn't short staffed but why are cashiers suppose to do everyone's work for them, when they are going on their break? Cashiers did the most work in the store and to think (and was not told differently) I was just getting hired to greet customers when they're ready to purchase their items, scan and bag their purchases..... it was ridiculous. Being paid minimum wage to do multiple jobs and have so many responsibilities was not what was explained to me before being trained and I left so I wouldn't end up hating a company I enjoyed shopping at.

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)
