Pros

Slightly higher pay than most retail, good initial training, smart colleagues, great discount, fun products.

Cons

Hours cut to almost none, rude customers (like all retail), half hour lunch is not long enough, don't feel like training is really kept up, long hours on your feet, some of the work can be dangerous and no coffee at early store meetings.

Pros

They only hire good people, and then they train you well and treat you like an adult. And for us ultra-organized, compulsive types, it's nice to fit in and be rewarded for just being yourself.

Cons

They seldom promote from within.

Pros

Opportunity to work with an amazing group of people, with vast backgrounds. TCS's customers are great and working with them to solve organization problems is my favorite aspect of the job. A very supportive and welcoming team environment. Love the Foundation Principles, just don't think they are as relevant as they used to be...

Cons

Little known fact, TCS promotes FT / Managers from outside - GIANT disconnect from their Foundation Principles. This is not 1=3, except for the super human ability needed to do as much as you are asked to do. Managers spend much of their time doing schedules and little time driving business. The more you are able to work the more scattered your shifts will become. Some of the Managers do not walk the walk, but they talk a good talk.
