Pros
Great concept. Love the constant flow of new merchandise. Great retail environment in that the focus is on getting product to the floor, presenting it well and selling it. Pressure to open TJX credit cards is overwhelming sometimes. Love their commitment to charities such as "The Jimmy Fund" and " St Jude's." But they even manage to make that into a competitive negative environment.
Cons
Politics are crazy! Managers are pitted against each other. Lots of confusion. Store manager changes mind every 5 seconds which prevents things from getting done. Store Manager talks down to other managers and associates and belittles them. I have never worked anywhere where management literally brings associates to tears on the sales floor. Expect to have to train yourself. Lots of gossip. Pressure to get things done is intense and really causes a negative environment in the store I am in.
