Pros

Friendly coworkers who work as a team, vacation accrual for even part-timers and an amazing 40% discount on products are some of the best reasons to work at TCS.

Cons

Clothing that is dictated by Texans in their 60s leaves a lot to be desired.

Pros

You'll receive a specific amount of training and you'll feel as though you've been properly equipped to do your job. The company already has such a great rapport with its customers, that customers already trust employees. There's a genuine sort of trust among customers and workers so much so that you begin to form friendships with customers. The company has a great approach to hiring and interviewing, also.

Cons

I'm part time, so I don't really experience the types of negatives that full-time employees would. But I've heard that it's hard to move up in the company or move from part-time to full-time, probably because the turn-over in the company is not quick...everyone wants to stay!
