Good people, easy work
Customer Service Coordinator, Key Carrier, cashier (Current Employee), York, PA – June 16, 2013
Pros: long breaks, diverse, flexible schedules, friendly, easy.
Cons: part time hours are inconsistent (many one week, not enough the next)
You get to work with other associates, which makes the day go quicker. Sometimes there is lots to do, but it's good because it keeps you busy. I've formed a lot of close relationships with managers and other associates. It's like a family. They are a VERY diverse work place. It's good to see such a range of races and religions; you never feel like people – more... are going to judge you when you walk in, unlike at many mall stores. They're extremely flexible with the schedule. They worked with me and my college schedule, even though it changed every semester. All in all, great place to work at. Worked here since I was 16 (almost 8 years ago). And will stay here until I get a teaching job).
They get money throughout the year from the credit company, which they use on the associates. They buy us lunch/bfast. They even do huge buffet/dinners during Thanksgiving and winter holidays.
They also do birthday cakes every month, and baby showers for associates having their first baby.
Breaks= 15 mins, unless you work over 6 hours, then you get two 15 mins and a 45 min. – less

I enjoied working at T.J.Maxx very customer oriented.
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Las Vegas, NV – June 13, 2013
Pros: it was and enjoyable place to work.
Cons: the only bad thing is that you only worked part time unless you were management.
I learned how to cash checks, process refunds, getting to meet new people from different countries and different cultures was amazing the hardest part of the job was leaving my friends and my job there. My co-workers were very helpful when II didn't know or understand something they were always there to help or show me how to do it.

More levels are need for someone to exceed
Cashier/ Sales Assc (Current Employee), Valdosta, GA – June 12, 2013
Pros: free lunch and leaving earlry
Cons: short breaks, no insurance for part time assc.
A typical day at work is long and draining.

I learned that you have to teach yourself, that you can give your all and not get the same in return, that I also have to stand up for myself or they will run over you, and let them know that you are willing to work in different positions.

I would like the management to be more accepting to new ideas, don't – more... be so quick to put someone down, or so attitudes and favoritism.

I love some of my coworkers. A shift can really go well if you do not have someone there trying to back stab, or even show you up.

The hardest part of the job would be dealing with people who do not want to be there, or even people that have been then over 6 months and still only knows 2 positions in the store.

The most enjoyable part of the day is when you have made a genuine connection with a customer or even coworker. – less

A typical work day consist of me coming to work and organizing the store. I learned many different positions such as cashier, stock, lay-a-way, different departments and friendly demeanor.

Loads of work little hours and pay. Friendly customers and holiday hours. – less

Unfriendly, but enough work to keep occupied
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Casselberry, FL – June 6, 2013
A typical day here would be helping out every customer with everything that is possible. Management here could be a lot better; it usually takes a a while for management to come to help when they are asked to come and they don't really care about the employees that work for them. Management is suppose to train all employees in every area on the floor, – more... but they do not do this. There really isn't any hard part about this job, mostly everything is very simple to figure out and do. – less

Interesting work environment with great deals on clothing, houseware, and much more.
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Auburn, ME – June 2, 2013
Pros: many breaks, semi-relaxed enviornment depending on the day
Cons: few benefits, requesting dates off, low pay and hours
At T.J. Maxx I'm usually at the service desk opertaing the cash register with customers' purchases, returns, or answering questions they may have for me. Being my first job I learned how to work a cash register, greet and assist customers, and take care of the store with fixing unorganized fixtures of merchandise. Management is pretty good, they make – more... sure to meet their quotas for sales and are always looking to try new things to get different results. My co-workers are friendly and it is easy for me to cooperate with them and make conversation. The hardest part of my job is when the line of customers builds up and I have to ring them out quickly in order to keep the flow, however I can page for assistance when overwhelmed. When I know that I have helped a customer or answered any confusions they may have had it makes me feel like I have done good for the company. – less
