Pros

Some great reasons to work at TJ Maxx are that they're willing schedule your hours around your college schedule, good hours, and a variety of co-workers from old, young, black, white, green.

Cons

Some downsides are that the store can be understaffed a lot, you have to ask customers if they want a TJX Rewards Card and if there are any charities we would ALSO have to ask if they'd like to donate which is annoying. We're bombarding the customers with so many questions when they most likely just want to shop and leave.

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)
