Pros

food in break room sometimes and extremely flexible in schedule, good managers for the most part

Cons

i have just recently started doing door and its very exhausting, all you do is stand there welcome people in and count people in due to covid. its ok and sometimes even nice but after the 3rd or 4th hour i feel like im going crazy just starring outside, yes we do get breaks but sometimes they forget and doing it for your entire shift up to nine hours is a huge part of me quitting. i genuinely did love my job before this but i now all i do is door but one day out of my work week and it just takes a much bigger toll on my mental health standing for so long doing nothing for hours at a time, i talked to my manager asking to switch out with other coworkers halfway or even every other day but nothing has happened . i understand i signed up for this job but if i knew it would turn into this i never would have taken it. im going to miss my coworkers so much but i dread work now and it feels so unnatural. i really hope tjmaxx does something about this because i know im not the only one leaving because of this also (the location isn't accurate i just am to nervous to put mine)

Pros

Good pay and flexible hours

Cons

The workplace culture felt highly driven by informalities, which often made it difficult to resolve issues professionally. Management responses to workplace concerns often felt inconsistent, and similar incidents appeared to be handled differently depending on the individuals involved. Employee morale appeared low, and turnover seemed higher than expected during my time there. Lack of support during peak periods and backroom inefficiencies. The work environment felt unsustainable due to unresolved management issues, communication breakdowns, and inconsistent handling of workplace conflicts.
