Pros

Good pay, easy work, predictable hours , atmosphere, encouraging management, benefits, benefits, room for growth. You could do this job when you are 80, it's that easy. That is the best retirement plan ever. Some complain long hours and same ones complain they don't give overtime but I find the schedule easy to get full time hours without having to work 15 hours one day to get sent home early the next so you don't get more than 40. I wish I started working at TJ's 20 years ago. It is the best job I've ever had when it all gets into context. I enjoy going to work more than days off.

Cons

Money ain't bad but it ain't good either. It could be a little more challenging but that's not really a con. The clothes yeah the outfits are terrible especially the mates. Still all in all a great place those who don't agree I suspect have not had many other jobs.

Pros

-Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

Cons

-Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
