Pros

-10% discount -Different positions within the store (jewelry, cashier, stocking, dressing room, etc)

Cons

-My store's general manager was a snake with unrealistic expectations, I had my job threatened multiple times over my ability to fold rugs quickly -Minimum wage, at least at the time I was there -They push you very very hard to sell the TJX "rewards" card, which has at least a 26% interest rate. You can't sell that to an unsuspecting customer if you have a conscience. I had to apply for one myself to not risk my hours being cut for too few signups. -Last two weeks before Christmas, store was open until 11pm and you still had to clean up after close. Very hard to work on school assignments while working that late. -TJX is very very anti-union. No opportunity to have a force of employees make a change. -
