Pros

Paid great compared to other stores in area, pretty ok discount, new employees get the most hours starting off then you blend hours with the other employees

Cons

You will do everything in the store practically. Ran the cash register, came in at 5:00 am to unload merchandice off truck, clean and organize store, go fetch buggies, organize every part of the store, and dont even get me started about christmas season. there is oppurtunities to move up to a front end manager and other high ranking position from associate but you def. have to stand out from the other. when you begin, there are the first 2 months of your employement that you cannot ask for days off or be late by any amount of time... thats an automatic dismissal. while working there for the short time, we had a mass group quit because of the working conditions. we would have about 4 people close the store on average and my garden ridge was a little smaller than a walmart. its just completely understaffed and not professional. store did not have a phone number... couldnt call upper management, they only had an email.

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.
