If you consider yourself to be a professional this is not the place for you. - Store Director At Home Employee Review

Pros

Very little supervision from the District Manager or anyone from corporate.

Cons

The daily routines are run through various emails that come from many different corporate sources. Often the emails were conflicting and hostile in tone. There is no written operational guideline to follow. It was a difficult place to keep a good attitude, field support is disconnected from the stores and generally ask for photos of projects instead of visiting the stores. There are no planograms so every item that comes in gets "flexed" into the shelves. I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. Google GardenRidge and you will see many horror stories.

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.
