Pros

Flexible hours reliable every summer and holiday season for extra income pretty easy work assistant managers always pretty good

Cons

management changes extremely frequently extremely low pay and raises just get eaten by min wage increases so there is no "reward", you can have been working there for 3 years with the same pay as someone who started that week unreasonable expectations by management (e.g. clean extremely trashed shoe dept in a couple of hours with no help) high rates of theft, employees treated like thieves only a 10% discount--low for retail

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.
