Pros

The work here was very easy. If you have enough shifts you will get the hang of pushing out merchandise, knowing where they go, learning the codes on the tags, and learning the hang of the registers. If you apply yourself you'll know everything within two weeks. You get assigned to different departments the more you work and the more comfortable you get with all the departments of home, mens/kids, womens apparel (includes women's activewear, missy/professional wear , and juniors) , fitting room, shoes and register.

Cons

Only negative I would say is you don't get enough hours if you're a part-timer to keep this one job. You will need another job to get by. They are always hiring new people, about three every month or so. Only other negative would be that managers stand over your shoulders all the effing time to listen if you ask customers to sign up for a credit card when you're at the service desk/register. They stand right behind you just listening to how you interact with customers especially if you aren't getting any customers to fill out the credit card application to apply. Do not miss that!

Pros

The work is the same every day (at least for janitors), and you don't have many surprises. In my experience, there is a lot of leeway for who does what as long as it gets done. I don't personally mind helping out in all departments after I am done cleaning. Current store manager (not asms) is very nice and understanding.

Cons

The management (Assistant managers in my experience) is at each other's throats to be the best out there and suck up to the district manager. The pressure to coerce customers into buying into the TJX card is a bit much. It all trickles down to the front end, which then causes everyone to be unhappy. Compensation is low and raises are based on company loyalty first, then your efficiency.
