Pros

-Gave customer service/retail experience. -Got to see the occasional neat item before it was on the floor. -Most of the shift went by fast due to high volume of customers.

Cons

-Unorganized break scheduling and often times ended up short handed at the worst times. -Store/shelves constantly packed with too much inventory and it got messy very fast. -Some managers seemed to show favoritism. e.g.-chatting in back-room with certain employees while on the clock, while telling others to "stop standing around." -A lack of communication between managers caused confusion quite often which resulted in re-doing a task, or un-doing a task. - Keeping in the frame of mind that women can't/shouldn't do tasks that require lifting and should stay behind the registers and/or put merchandise away, and were scolded when doing heavy lifting by managers. Although often times male employees weren't scheduled at all or there were so few that there was no choice but to either make the customer wait or do it ourselves. -Really comes down on employees to push their TJX rewards card, like most retail stores that offer credit cards.

Pros

My coworkers and a steady wpaycheck. And meeting some great people. The discount is nice.

Cons

This company likes to put all the work on its associates. Anything that’s grunt work or where you have to get your hands dirty. All they care about are pushing out those credit cards. I’ve seen some of the best employees quit because they’re burnt out and don’t get scheduled any hours. I don’t blame them. I’m looking for another job as I type this. My body hurts and I’m being abused physically and taken advantage of.
