Pros

Management is friendly. You might find one or two people with some sort of common sense or the ability to do their jobs. Can't keep anyone so plenty of room to become management...just know you'll be expected to do the work of multiple people and you'll be underpaid for the job you were supposed to do.

Cons

Give you bare minimum hours to staff. Have someone call out? Good luck getting coverage. Don't pay anything near a competitive wage. The lack of a livable wage means the lack of quality employees. Managers are expected to go above and beyond to cover the shortfalls. There is no organization for anything at all. Stores are purposely over shipped items and expected to make room for product and hope it sells before the next season of product shows. Christmas arrive before Halloween fully arrives and for stores with no backroom, you have to shove Christmas into random spots on your floor or take up valuable overstock space. There's no communication between corporate and stores about proper planning and execution of those holiday pushes. They wait til stores receive the items before making plans. Employees aren't given any incentives... There's no redeemable quality for this company. There's a reason you walk into one of their stores and it always looks like no one works there.

Pros

Great Customers and coworkers. The products we affordable and great quality and I loved doing the visual Merchandising changes for the wall decor and home organizations. We really had a great team we provided great customer service and the local real estate loved coming in for assistance

Cons

The miscommunication between the upper management and the store level management wavered. We went over 8 months without a Store Director. High labor demands and lack of support led to a high turnover rate and a toxic work environment. Pay isn't commensurate with responsibilities.
