Pros

Stores are located everywhere, so it's great if you need to relocate. Once you are employed full-time for 2 years you get 3 weeks vacation!

Cons

Senior management has lack of knowledge and training. Long lasting employees with this company but majority have never worked for any other company. So, they are not willing to listen to new suggestions to improve company standards. Seems to have serious disconnect between stores, DM, and Corporate leaders. The hours you will end up working does not leave any time for family or a personal life. Expect to work about 55hrs a week an during holiday season 65! At the end of the day...it doesn't pay!

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.
