Pros

For a retailer, TCS pays well & there are many different kinds of shifts so people with other full-time jobs can usually fit TCS into their schedule. Great employee discount. Many of the employees do other things, as well, so you can meet a variety of interesting people with varied backgrounds.

Cons

Management is very condescending & there are a lot of ridiculous "Type A's" who work at TCS. I'm all for doing a great job, but there are so many rules and policies that make absolutely no sense & kick the morale right out of you. TCS pays better than most retailers, but they also expect their employees to jump through hoops to work there. The pace is furious, the hours long & if you want performance feedback-- 9 times out of 10, you're going to hear how you did something wrong.

Pros

The pay and benefits are unmatched for comparable jobs. Insurance (health care, dental, and vision) is available for all part time employees, regardless of how many hours per week they work. A 401k program is available for all employees who have worked there for 11 months and are over 21. Management encourages a positive atmosphere through their attitudes and by being selective with the people they hire. They expect a lot of their employees and the employees get a lot in return.

Cons

I can't think of anything really negative. No company is perfect but TCS is really good to their employees and customers. In my time there, I had no complaints. If you aren't interested in working hard and don't want to put more than a minimum amount of effort into your job, then you probably won't like it.
