At Home reviews

Where to start??! Interview was basically 3 mins, they were focused on my AVAILABILTY, not on my skills. Extremely low pay for all the work you do. They send me to the ‘floor’ to start cleaning aisles and scan stuff 5 mins after i clocked in. Manager didnt even know it was my first day when i got there, introduced me to another manager and this one rolled her eyes!! They dont give you any training, no one ever explain how the company works, i never got told about how i was getting pay, time off, breaks, etc...you learn by just looking what other people is doing. Manager is constantly checking on you every 15 mins its annoying. You will be asked to learn and DO ANYTHING, stockings shelves, registers, freight, to even CLEAN BATHROOMS because they have NO JANITORS. All these for $9 an hr!! They will make you feel like a slave. Do NOT apply for a job for this company unless you are in absolutely need of money and have no choice. Even McDonalds and Walmart pay more!! There is no room for growth, its very discouraging and depressive.

The company's culture is dis-functional at best.. The message from the home office is one of "Doing the Right Thing", however the store operations group does just the opposite. Consistently using unprofessional tactics to bully and intimidate store management. The stores are not given the resources to run the properly. When converted from Garden Ridge to At Home they spoke of leaving behind the culture and putting customer and associates first. They have never been farther from that than they are right now. The only thing that seems to be important to District Managers and above is how many pallets of freight did you get done today. Store conditions and employee relations are an after thought. In 20 years of retail management I have never seen a company manage their assets in a less professional and more disorganized manner from their Human Resource dept down.
