At Home reviews

Company does not work to develop assistant buyers in order to promote within. There is no type of training or employee development and little room for advancement. Company does not give employee reviews. Depending on the buyer, role can be solely administrative. Assistant Buyers don't travel to market or trade shows Restrooms are disgusting Too many pointless rules (ie- corporate employees can't greet or talk to store employees) Pay and benefits are AWFUL...waaaaay below the industry average. You are given 1 week vacation the first year and 1week of personal time. You are not allowed to take half days but must use each personal/vaca day all at once. Personal time must be used if you are out of the office because you're sick and if you have no more personal time or vacation and must miss work because of medical issues...YOU WILL BE FIRED. I've seen it happen to several people. No company activities/events

You will do everything in the store practically. Ran the cash register, came in at 5:00 am to unload merchandice off truck, clean and organize store, go fetch buggies, organize every part of the store, and dont even get me started about christmas season. there is oppurtunities to move up to a front end manager and other high ranking position from associate but you def. have to stand out from the other. when you begin, there are the first 2 months of your employement that you cannot ask for days off or be late by any amount of time... thats an automatic dismissal. while working there for the short time, we had a mass group quit because of the working conditions. we would have about 4 people close the store on average and my garden ridge was a little smaller than a walmart. its just completely understaffed and not professional. store did not have a phone number... couldnt call upper management, they only had an email.
