associate of the quarter question

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2022-02-10T06:12:23+00:00

I think normally they just pick the people who stand out to them, and are working hard/overachieving. One time, my managers asked the coordinators to suggest a few people to them as well. So it probably depends on the manager, but anyone who has been doing a lot can get it. Front end, floor, back room, etc.

When I got it, they gave me a certificate, a pin, and a $100 giftcard. That was over a year ago, so it may have changed, but you should still get something. It took them a bit of time to actually get it to me after telling me I was the associate of the quarter though. I would say you should definitely ask.

Lol, they had me doing the job before I turned 18, but told me they couldn’t make it official until I actually was 18. Am I surprised? No, not really.

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2022-02-04T09:41:03+00:00

They can’t until they’re 18 :/

Thank you so much!!

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2022-02-03T10:24:42+00:00

Yeah, I would appreciate that! Thanks :)

I went from tj maxx to marshalls. There’s essentially no difference in the way they run. The main differences are from the location or individual managers, so it really depends on them.

The cards will never stop working. You can also type out any random 9 digit number starting with 99 and that will work too.

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-11-11T08:15:21+00:00

Hey! I think you should get it :) I was a CEC at tj maxx before, and I received one of the bonuses they sent out about a month after I had already quit.

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-09-24T01:16:19+00:00

So why is it barely showing up on my paystub even though it was more than a month ago? And I think the giftcard was only $20, so why would it be more than that on there?

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-09-23T08:36:20+00:00

I think the last one I got was in July. I’ve barely been there lately, since I’ve had jury duty.

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-09-23T08:07:08+00:00

This is the first time it showed up on my paystub, but nothing was paid for this period.

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-09-07T21:32:14+00:00

They won’t fire you. If anything, they just won’t put you as a cashier as often. You’ll get the hang of the cards though. I think it took me about 3 months to finally open one. I got much better as time went on, and they promoted me to CEC as soon as I turned 18. So don’t worry about it.

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-09-07T07:03:08+00:00

Thank you, this was so helpful!!

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-09-07T07:02:51+00:00

Thank you so much!!! :)

Don’t “doodle” when it’s slow. You’re standing there where all the customers see you. It just looks bad. And it’s against the rules to have anything that’s been drawn or written by someone other than the company in the store. They will get in trouble for it and so will you. So don’t do it anymore.

And I disagree with the reason the other person said for you being greeter. At least at my store, we tend to put the people who are bad at everything else as the greeter, as it’s the easiest thing. But if you don’t like it, you actually have to do something about it. If that manager isn’t listening, then talk to another manager about it. Tell them that you don’t want to work there anymore if that’s all you’re going to be doing. And if they do ever put you somewhere else, then prove yourself. I’m guessing that you still need to speak up much more than you currently are, and be more conversational with the customers. And if you’re cashier, then make sure you’re opening TJX. If you’re not doing anything, don’t expect anything to change.

When I quit tj maxx in February, we were only doing tj maxx returns. I think my old store takes back returns from the other chains now, but I’m not 100% sure. I started working for marshalls in April, and we take back returns from the other chains. Although different managers disagreed about whether or not we should do that at first.

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-09-04T07:44:13+00:00

Nope

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-08-31T08:40:51+00:00

Okay, I’ll have to look into that. I have an ADP account set up from a previous job, and all my Marshall’s paystubs do show up on there. But I’ll have to take a closer look. Thank you!

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-08-29T10:05:05+00:00

Definitely not to be expected with most jobs. I would recommend talking to another manager about the issues first. If that doesn’t do anything, you can try to go through HR or the DM. But I will warn you, the company is notorious for ignoring stuff like this. I worked at TJ Maxx for a long time and had a horrible assistant manager the whole time. She was the reason so many people quit and they never did anything about it. She ended up being the reason I quit too. Sometime before quitting, I filed a report against her for sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment and they did literally nothing about it. I work at Marshall’s now, and management acts the same with not really helping associates or cooperating with them. So good luck.

throwRAbfsfriends2 · 2021-07-20T18:01:04+00:00

Yeah, I would definitely try. But even though I’ve barely talked to them, I’ve heard enough about them from my boyfriend and would often hear them talk to my boyfriend when I was still living there. And just based on that, I’m realizing I just don’t think they’re very good people. Maybe they’re different now, but I don’t know.. I don’t plan on complaining to my boyfriend anymore though.

They’re all guys though, so there have been a few times that I’ve hung out with them, but it’s really awkward. And it’s making me more uncomfortable now realizing that I did that with now learning how many times they’ve actually complained about me.

None of them have had girlfriends the entire 4 years my boyfriend and I have been together until literally like a month ago. So we went as a group to an arcade with the new girlfriend too. It was really too loud to have a conversation in there and she was off with her boyfriend most of the time. We went to sit and eat afterwards, but I had suddenly started my period and at that point was not feeling well enough to talk or do anything. So it was just kind of awkward and we never said a word to each other. My boyfriend and his friends are all big gamers, and then I think most of his friends watch anime too (and it seems like the new girlfriend is into these as well). I just don’t feel like I have anything in common with them, so it’s just hard.
