      Pros

      - better pay than average - you can get feedback if you push for it. - they have really tried to manage the economic downturn without laying people off.

      Cons

      - Expectations of schedules are demanding with little advance notice more than a week or so ahead. - still small enough to be very rigid but not small enough to be as flexible as they need to be.

      Pros

      Our Customers! We have some of the best folks come into the store - it is very gratifying to help someone save time and stress in their daily lives. To get a hug from a customer who is SO HAPPY with their solution(s); words cannot describe how wonderful that is! Great Discount on products, too!!

      Cons

      No longer are our days off/schedules secured for a length of time. That, was an amazing perquisite! The human factor seems to have been removed with our new and efficient labor accounting system. This has now become "regular retail" scheduling.

      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.
