Dealing with lovely customers and helping people get what they want and also the chats you get to have to help them with browse at similar items. Also maintaining the store which you feel like you accomplished something when it looks neat and tidy and looks really presentable
Worst thing

Best thing
Some of the associates are really nice, the hourly pay for someone my age is good, you can chose your availability.
Worst thing
The pressure put on you is insane, you’re not allowed to sit down whilst clocked in, unpaid breaks, if caught talking to another associate it’s your life on the line, you are treated like dirt, there’s a clear manager-associate hierarchy, we are told from the day we start “everyone is replaceable” which makes us all feel undervalued and not appreciated

Worst thing
managers do not listen to the availability of staff before doing the rota.
there is no communication between managers.
people must work over half an hour after closing to tidy up even when there is a night shift on.TK Maxx Employee, December 2021
-
Best thing
Learning new skills
Worst thing
Doing multiple jobs at once and taking other people’s responsibilities on when they don’t do them. People don’t receive correct training and so the people who have been there longer end up having to do more than one job at a time

Worst thing
When a customer complains or argues with the policy’s the managers will tell you to stick to the policy until you have to ask them to deal with the customer for the verbal abuse you are getting and they give the customer what they want and don’t back you up at all
TK Maxx Associate, December 2021

Most of the team I work with are great people to be around and I never get time to be bored because there is always something to do.
Worst thing
Customers can be very inconsiderate or rude, and make a lot of mess. Also staying late most days because daily tasks are not finished, or managers decide on a whim to start a job that will take longer than scheduled hours.
TK Maxx Sales associate, August 2021

No notice about shift changes. Rota goes up 3 days before the next week so it’s hard to make plans outside of work
