Pros

The pay was above average compared to other big box retailers but the hours were worse. My store manager required us to stay till he left for the day regardless of when we got there. This resulted in 55-60 hour work weeks for the Assistant's while he worked 40.

Cons

The long hours made it difficult and working in a clothing retail chain is absolutely different than any other big box retailer.

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.
