Pros

The best thing about HomeGoods is the ability to interact with the customers. By providing great customer service and helping them out you are sure to have a happy customer who will keep returning and buying from you. The work environment is friendly and usually non stressful. It's great job to get experience in a retail environment.

Cons

There's not many cons working for this retailer, the biggest being as a associate merchandiser you don't get many hours and you start out at minimum wage, and you don't work for commission.

Pros

Great culture - both management and employees enjoy each others' company, sharing laughs in a congenial, though VERY hard-working, environment. I really like the people I work with. Managers at my store have specifically stated that they value and actively want to foster a positive, pleasant, and fun environment for both employees and customers.

Cons

Too few people doing too much work for far too low pay. The pace is always hectic, if not teetering on chaotic. I and my coworkers *HUSTLE* ALL.DAY.LONG. From the beginning of a shift until the very end, we are hustling, if not even scrambling to get our assignments done amid customer interruptions, being called for cashier back-up, price checks, approvals, carry-outs, rugs, paid-holds, and more... It is exhausting. There are simply not enough people scheduled to cover everything that needs to be done.

Pros

You get a little bit of freedom to use your creativity when merchandising. I hear that management gets payed well. No 2 days are the same.

Cons

*sigh* I really don't like to complain or bash a company but people need to know what to expect. Like many retail stores, there are very many demands with very little pay. In the 3 years that I have been working here, I have seen no less than 10 (probably many more) employees fired for theft. I'm disgusted with the caliber of person I have to work with here.
