Horrible place to work! - Cashier/Sales Associate TJ Maxx Employee Review

Pros

Flexible schedule; work in different areas of the store, occasionally being able to help customers if approached. Two 15 min. breaks for a full day and a 45 min. lunch break ... good amount of time as compared to other retail stores.

Cons

Low pay, more emphasis on "loss prevention" than customer service & satisfaction; not really "trained for different areas of the store but just thrown into the position, being expected to know what to do"; no positive comments just negative when something is done wrong; being treated as "just another number" - the store having 75 employees. High rate of theft especially among employees; not appreciated; being watched by cameras!

Pros

nice break room, lovely employees and supervisors so far!

Cons

barely any hours for anyone, corporate is shady. lied about hiring (they put out a hiring table with business cards even though our store was NOT hiring and our employees were barely getting any work) and they are anti-union
