I would work a little less, enjoy the summer months.

What I liked
Allowed me to place myself into the business world of retail. Worked in different departments and was able to recognize the different operations within the TJ Maxx company. Learned more about the TJX company as a whole as well as their values and goals. Friendly environment that welcomes everyone. Great communication not only within the company but as well as with our loyal customers.
What I wish was different
Scheduling, as I am a part time commuting student. Personally I wish I had more time to work rather than having to shift my schedule so much due to classes and class responsibilities.
Advice
I have worked in the food & beverage industry as well as in housekeeping for most of my youth, and have always been nervous to try retail as you always hear horror stories about it all. Working in retail has actually been one of the most valuable experiences I have partaken in as I am not only growing as a person within my confidence by continuously talking to customers and associates but I am learning the ropes of how to operate and manage a business as it is a career I am looking at within my business major.

What I liked
The co-workers there were amazing and so sweet! I also loved being able to meet and see some of the same faces weekly from customers!
What I wish was different
I wish I had applied to be something other than a cashier, it was a lot of just standing their and waiting for people to come to you.
Advice
If you already have a busy schedule, do not apply here because they schedule you whenever they can and it is hard to get someone to take your shift.

Had to change schedule on short notice if the truck delivery schedule got messed up. More money would have been nice.

If you are always honest and keeping busy instead of waiting to be asked to do things, then the managers will reward you nicely.

Retail Salesperson
May 2018 - June 2019 • Kennewick, WA
What I liked
The hiring process, location of the store and the discounts I received
What I wish was different
The management
Advice
Don't work there if you like being organized or if you care about good management. The managers get very disoriented with their tasks and lose control of managing the sales associates. They guilt trip you but also don't reward you for how many people you get to sign up for a TJX credit card.

Sales Associate
May 2019 • Framingham, MA
What I liked
I really love the people I worked with over the summer and just the overall community at TJ Maxx. It's a retail job but it's one of the best in my opinion. I actually met a ton of teens from my former high school and other people that I am still in touch with today.
What I wish was different
I wished I could have gotten more hours during the day because most of the time, I worked night shifts which I don't really mind but I would have preferred a balance schedule with more day shifts.
Advice
TJ Maxx is a good place to work at. The management at my store was great, I was able to develop my communications skills over the summer while also making money. I highly suggest a similar job for anyone who is not able to find an internship for the summer.

What I liked
The people there were super nice, and they really work around your schedule. I am able to return back to work when I’m not in school, and they even gave me the option to transfer to a store that was closer to me when I am in school!
