Pros

Orientation was very informal and not pointless. Employees very friendly and very helpful of each other. Not a stuffy work environment and not always micro managed.

Cons

Was promised to be a cashier but I would work my way up to and it from back room to learn everything and it never happened. Wherever they truly need you for the season is most likely where you'll stay. Department wise.

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)
