T.K. Maxx reviews

Be aware that there is a 3 month probation period which is not a formality - there are graduates on every intake that don't make it. Limited career path unless you want to become a Buyer, with charm and chat often valued above true talent and some good people unfortunately not rewarded for their hard work.

The management is very very badly organised; the weekly rota would never be up until a Friday; making it impossible to plan your next week ahead. The managers 'look down' on the associates, and definitely make you feel a the bottom of the ladder. I was never handed my payslips, or given a name badge until months after I was supposed to have recieved them. Additionally, there is minimal job training. You are pretty much 'thrown into the deep end' and expected to knw everything and be able to cope with what you have been told to do with little help and experience from the management; they expect you to know everything without having taught you. Furthermore, I have only recently (after 4 months of being there) been told about the BSP and the folder which it is kept in that we are expected to read; it seems to me lke this is our only real form of official training.
