T.J. Maxx Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I’ve been with the company for almost 2 years now and I would never recommend working for this company. It’s more of a sales pitch than a retail store. They push employees to get customers to sign up for a credit card and employees just get a pat on the back for it. No compensation for hard work, the company only gets richer. Management expects a lot from you but with very little pay. It is very easy to make friends and everyone helps each other out. I would say it’s a great place if you were working part time, but full time is a waste of time and money. Since the pay is so low, it’s not enough to live off, you would need another job."

"The TJ Max I worked for showed a lot of favoritism. Some of the management team very rude and condescending .Had very difficult time getting paychecks sometimes not getting paid for 3 weeks at a time. Complained ,made many calls to HR and district manager until finally getting paid regularly but came with cost of now being mistreated mainly due to my persistence trying to get paid in timely manner. Forced to reiterate to them that it is state and federal law to get paid in timely manner, Now have to live with the fall out from management mistreating me now. so much for the so called open door policy you complain and they make your life a living hell. .management favorites get showered with reward cards winners names kept secret because they don't want people to know how rigged it is. .They refuse to post winners names as they should. If you like to kiss butt and take any crap handed to you like a mindless drone then this would be a perfect job for you..If you demand equal treatment , respect and honesty then you would not be a good fit as they will treat you as an outcast make it miserable for you hoping you just leave."

"I worked at Tjmaxx for a few months but had to leave due to non job issue. It was an ok place to work, the employees were great. Not a lot of chance to grow. Just more of where are they gonna put you. The store was always clean especially at the registers. They were not very understanding at all when u needed to call out because of a family issue or you were sick etc. you always got as many hours as they could put you on though and even asked you to stay later sometimes. I learned a lot of skills working there."

"I worked as a customer service associate at TJ Maxx for over seven years. While I enjoyed working with my fellow associates, at the end of the day, it was a customer service job that didn't pay very well."

"I've worked with Tjmaxx since 2016. I get along very well with all the employees and management as well. I am a great team player and work very well individually too. I can excel in any task that is given to me, and my supervisors can say the same for me as well. The lifestyle of Tjmaxx is very fast paced, and has many things going on at one time, being able to multi-task and handle high stress situations is a must for this job, and I can do that very well! Since I am very good at my job, I do not require a lot of training and or assistance for majority of my tasks since I am able to handle any of the tasks."

"I really enjoyed the work at first but as time went on I saw how things really go. I didn't have as much control over the department that I was the coordinator of, I was always answering for the decisions I made and the lack of cohesion and continuity is not something that I can handle. I am far too detail-oriented to work for a company like this. I get along well with my co-workers but I don't see an opportunity for advancement."

"I have worked for TJ Maxx seasonally since 2015 and they have always been very good to me. They have been patient with my mistakes and the friendly coworkers never made it unbearable to work there. The issues arise by the training which was too basic. It took months before I knew every detail of my job, although most of the time it was very straightforward. The other issue is to be expected with any retail but the customers were and will always be crazy. There were many very kind customers as well, however. Overall a good job, but not a career for me."

"Tj max was a fun environment but I’d say i had A seasonal position so they had a lot of workers going in and out. It was difficult to advance there."

"TJ Maxx is a fun place to work, especially for students looking for flexible hours in order to accommodate life style.The management team are understanding people that work with any problems that I had and always encourage me in both work and life. The co-workers are fun people to spend time at work and make long hour shifts feel shorter."

"I have grown and learned so much from TJ Maxx. Most managers take the time to develop their team so employees can grow within the company."

"Great Environment and Management"

"I worked for Tj Maxx for 2 years, every day I dealt with favoritism, racism, and obstruction of power."

"The staff and management at the store are very friendly and seem to actually care about their staff. I just wish that they would take more time training a new associate before pushing them onto the floor. I think with more training and in-depth explanations the associates would be better prepared to give better and faster customer service."

"Great company to work for."

"I've been working part time at TJMaxx for 4 1/2 months which I believe is enough time to evaluate an employer in the retail sector. They are all pretty much the same. Long on reputation and very short on pay and benefits. I also find some management and "coordinators" rude, demanding and patronizing to employees. These people bark orders and demand effort not commensurate with compensation. Communication skills are sorely lacking here which leads to unnecessary confusion and effects production negatively. The sad truth is that nothing in this industry will ever change unless employees "push back' and demand better pay and treatment. No one I work with seems to believe that they have rights and deserve better pay, benefits and treatment."
