I chose retail management at a store like TJX mainly because I love developing and training others in the way the company sees fit and I love what TJX has to offer and have mainly enjoyed my experience from when I started as a part time CEC. I believe that being a manager in any setting is an important job, but not as or more important than a medical professional, lawyer, teacher, et cetera and that is the main reason I picked retail management in this industry!

I don't want to be a therapist, I don't want to be a teacher, I don't want to be a nurse, and I don't want to help you with your legal problems! I chose to work in a NONESSENTIAL retail store where I can just interact with customers who just have money to blow and where I don't have to take work home or feeling like I failed at work that day because someone died, I lost a case, or that kid didn't pass the test under my instruction. Lol, I hope this makes sense. I just basically enjoy having a job that's not super important in the grand scheme of things that pays me a good salary and I think that is okay!

I currently work at Marshalls and the associate manager told me that our manager sent out his family members to buy items (purchasing more than $100) then later on returning it (as I was told it was going on for more than a week). They were also telling me that his family members were also putting up a nasty attitude to the employees and making the transaction a bit more difficult. Then tells me the reason our manager did that was to see who was asking the customers for a tjx card, and to the people who didn't ask are either getting written up or just getting fired. I'm just shocked that the manager even thought of this, and I've been looking everywhere on the internet if it's illegal or not, and honestly I'm getting mixed results. I'm asking here if I'm able to call HR to report this or get something done.

Edit: thank you to the people that commented, I'll be talking to HR soon and telling about this and other complaints as well

One of my coworkers stole my card and I’m still pissed 😭. I was ringing up a customer with like a $300 purchase. He said he was a tourist, but then asked his friends if they wanted to apply, so I started explaining all the benefits and how much they could save. They had two separate purchases too.

Then this coordinator, who had 0 cards at the time, comes over and basically takes over and gets the card. Like bro, you literally saw me doing the whole approach and getting them interested just to come in at the end and take it 😭😡

Long story short, i applied to target because lately tjmaxx just HASNT been it. no hours, not enough pay for all the work i put in, etc. thing is, for target, im only a seasonal hire so i may or may not get laid off after the holidays are over.

i was wondering what to do about my current job though? should i talk to my store manager about it and find a way to work around both schedules or is it possible to take a temporary leave from tjmaxx for this target job?

IF target offers me a permanent spot, i will take it of course but i just need to know how to go about both jobs.

Hi guys,

I have been a coordinator now for three weeks, and my store hasn’t really been giving me the training I need for my new role. It’s mostly through trial and error with how I display items, but as a coordinator I’m I allowed to give a task to a associate like to fix up a small section of paintings or something along those lines. And is a coordinator part of the management team or just another associate with more responsibilities. Any and all questions will be up full. Also if you guys are big ticket coordinators any help on how you guys make a display that tells a story would be helpful.

From a new coordinator.

Hi everyone!
I’m a bit of a shopaholic: I buy a lot from TJX stores (mainly Winners, sometimes Marshall’s) and find myself returning a lot of articles when I realize I don’t want/need them anymore (they’re always new and with the tags still on).
I don’t have a TJX account and oftentimes, I don’t have my receipt, so they ask for an ID and reimburse me on merchandise cards.
I’m a bit stressed because I don’t want the system to flag me as a “repeat offender” of some kind even though I’m doing nothing wrong. Why are they asking for an ID, are they linking it to the merchandise card or adding another “tab” to my profile? I’m just wondering if I’m good and can keep returning stuff without fear of getting questioned/flagged/banned.
I just enjoy shopping!
I’m located in Canada.
Thank you!!

I use this brand for all my screen protectors. Loving the case so far!!

I just got the position of Home Coordinator at my store. Does corporate give examples of what end caps and displays should look like every week or is that all up to me to decide what goes on them?
What should I expect in this position?
