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)

Pros

Scheduling is flexible which is nice while being in school

Cons

Upper management only cares about customers signing up for credit cards and they will only treat you with respect if you shill their card. They get mad if you arent meeting your goals even if it is clearly evident that you were trying your best because lower numbers means that management doesnt get their bonus. As a CEC I was expected to train the cashiers to slave away at the register to get customers to sign up even though we did not get any part of the bonus that management gets.
