Pros

Fun people to work with, but has nothing to do with the company.

Cons

Happy that your Company went Public so Managers can make money? I had 90% of my workers get hurt because you won't staff to save money. Your are worked to death at every moment of the day. Management works 10 hr days but by 1:00 has stopped working and has CSS do 2 days of work in a night shift. Company believes in Lean principles but they have used a manufacturing idea; no change to work flow, within a retail environment, where there is constant change. There is complete boredom at the registers and the rest of the 3 people working in a 96,000 sq ft store have to do all the manual work. Furniture, heavy rugs, mirrors and wall hangings, not to mention 70Lb Christmas trees that show up in June. Nothing about this company is worth it.

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.
