Absolutely deplorable

Pros

One of the three managers was tolerable. And there are chances to win a HomeGoods gift card every week or so if you win a "Star" card.

Cons

This was an absolutely miserable place to work. As I was in college, trying to make money to pay for my education, I worked here as a cashier. The managers were incredibly condescending. At one point, one of them even had the audacity to drop the F-bomb on me for a petty mistake I made. Within the first few weeks of working there, I broke down crying--not from an unpleasant customer (which is quite frequent), but from the unbelievable disrespect from the management. And I saw 5 other coworkers cry from the management. The managers were unbelievably insensitive and took out their anger on their employees, as if we had no dignity. In addition, the schedules change every week. At the time, I was balancing three jobs, so some weeks I would work 20 hours and the next week I would be assigned 3 hours. Perhaps upper-level positions are better, but it's overall a miserable atmosphere for a "HomeGoods Happy" place.

Pros

Its easy to understand and the basic things that you have to train to do your job correctly, and when you do good you might get a star card....not all the time.

Cons

the management team is lazy, no one really follows the rules. every assistant manager has their own set of rules. the store manager doesnt know what hes doing. and every time a policy changes no one tells us personally so if we don't do it right we get in trouble for it
