Pros

very flexible scheduling, getting paid every week instead of every two weeks, friendly college kids that keep things pretty fun

Cons

management is incompetent, low pay, being a coordinator and doing 10x more work than everyone else as well as write ups, and verbals for only $1 more in pay, no organization, no cashiers, no hours (supposedly), company does not care about it's employees, if your lucky .25 cent raise a year, expects you to do way too much more than you have time for, absolutely no over time (so really absolutely no way to get everything done they expect), sweating your ass off because you have to call someone across the country to change the thermostat, giving the customers whatever they want so they walk all over you, no gratitude shown by management for all the work you do, expected to get credit apps however absolutely no incentive other than to wear jeans and maybe a coke that costs .75 cents, no meetings so no one ever knows what is going on, barley any training for new people, management doesn't need a degree or any kind of education (which is VERY clear once you work with this management team).

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.
