Pros

Keeps you busy with projects, Lots of great decor and furniture for sale. Team is very helpful and reliable. I loved working for this store, the people were great and we worked as a team.

Cons

Corporate asks for WAY TOO MUCH. Many projects to be done in a timely manner in one week but doesn't have the tools or people to get it done especially when busy. So many changes every month, that it gets confusing and can't finish projects or put out freight at quick enough times before the next shipment. Safety policies change almost every week and how to do things, it's confusing and can't rely on corporate to get things done correctly. Let the store directors and managers run the business how they know will WORK for them and not the overall company, every market is different, so work with your people and listen to them. Communication is key in ANY business, if you don't have that, then you have NO business.

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.
