HomeGoods reviews

The customers, you really need patience for this type of job.

Long hours Very physically strenuous (be prepared to sweat and strain almost every day) High stress (always busy, always having to process freight - every day, all year) Indifferent senior management Poor or inadequate training Very poor work-life balance (inhumane scheduling, fatigue) Cookie cutter social expectation - clear expectations on which personality types are desirable. This can lead to a high school-like environment where some people clearly belong and some don't. This can negatively impact morale and even mental health in some cases. Implicitly sexist environment - Due to the physical demands to repeatedly lift or move heavy items, many female staff members frequently page male team members to lift or move items that female team members can lift either solely or in pairs.
