Vantaggi
While I have always maintained a pessimistic view of the retail industry from past awful experiences, TK Maxx is by no means the worst. - Pay is very good for retail which is currently £8.15 per hour after a probationary period. - Vast majority of managers are very friendly, approachable and understanding. - In-hour progression is widespread. If you're motivated enough, you can jump into a team leader position within a year and progress all the way to store manager. Many store managers started off as associates 10-15 years ago. - Lots of overtime during busy periods meaning lots of extra money.
Svantaggi
- Can be very tedious during quiet periods, resulting in angsty managers trying to get you to 'look busy' when there's nothing to do. - Short-hour contracts mean little pay during the first quarter of the calendar year. - Certain managers tend to play the 'god' role too often, resulting in demotivated and angry staff at times. - Lots of overtime means good pay but can also affect your social life which can often lead to exhausting shifts the following day. - Security measures lacking quite often.
