Pros

Decent discount. Employees receive a 25% discount.

Cons

At Home management doesn't care about there employees. This is from the District Manager and above. It is a good Ole boys club. If you hang out with the DM and go out drinking with them then you receive special privileges. If you are not part of that group then you receive very little support for your store and your career. These stores receive a lot of freight. Each delivery is a full truck and the store is expected to process it and get it stocked with in 24 hours. The stores are expected to run on a very low payrole. Most of the time there are to few employees to get freight and all of the other projects done on time. Then the store will receive a bad grade on a store visit. They do not pay well for the amount and quality of work that is required. Local store managers are not allowed to adjust hours based on work load or customer patterns. The company is based out of Texas and all merchandise guidelines come out of Texas. All stores across the country are required to do follow. No adjusting allowed based on your local market. The mentally is if it works in Texas it works everywhere. Don't plan on having a personal life. If full time you will be scheduled the minimum hours they can, part time will be scheduled 10 to 20 hours. If for some reason they call and ask you to work additional hours not scheduled for and you say you can't your hours will start to be cut. You are expected to be available all the time. I would not recommend working for this company!

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.
