Pros

Paid great compared to other stores in area, pretty ok discount, new employees get the most hours starting off then you blend hours with the other employees

Cons

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.

Pros

Fine enough coworkers to be around

Cons

Horrendous corporate staff. Overly aggressive marketing for customers that clearly don't seem to actually care to buy anything. 90 day no question return policy means customers buy things constantly and return them even faster. Terrible inbound freight allocation, dozens of the same item are sent on each and every truck that do not sell. Overpriced, ugly, and uncomfortable furniture that sits and fits for months on end. Corporate will tear you a new one for not getting enough customers to sign up for ad bloated emails and text marketing, while also pushing a credit card with terrible benefits from a scummy bank. Will be out of business before the end of the decade.
