Please read this if you are considering applying for a position here.
Pros
Busy and fast paced, the day goes by incredibly quickly You learn a lot of different skills quick because there is so (too) much to do If you work with good people, the day can be enjoyable And as always, it is nice to work around so many beautiful home decor items.
Cons
This company does not invest nearly enough into it's employees. There are far too few working in a single location at once to get the amount of work that corporate expects accomplished. Please actually think about that. If you work here you will never get enough work done to satisfy anyone. I love hard work, and feeling satisfied with your efforts at the end of the day is so important. You will not get that here. Communication is very poor. I would strongly suggest staying part-time at At Home if you are even considering it, and I would never recommend working full-time. If you're looking for 20 or less hours a week, and a place to go to work hard and not think too much, this is the place. If you're there longer than that during the week, a bulk of the work and responsibility is put on your shoulders, and depending on your team, you may or may not have anyone you can rely on to help you with that. And because there are never enough people to get things done, customers are rarely satisfied with the store, the quality of the merchandising, and the quality of the service they get. Frustrated people deal with equally frustrated people all day, and it could be so much better than that.
