Pros

Management at Eastgate Tn. location was great.

Cons

When hired to open the new store, employers from corporate headquarters and some other locations came in to advise new employees how to set up the stock. Each one would look at your finished work and each one wanted it differently, so you had to do the work more than once; it was irritating. The store was so large, the A/C units weren't cooling store enough to stop the workers from passing out after long hours of stocking. When hired, they give you a glorified name for a position and neglect to tell you everyone in the store does the same thing; box cut boxes and stock the shelves until all work is done, or shift ends. I worked here for two days from 12 p.m until 12 a.m "24 hours", then dismissed myself because I passed out during my break, away from the store from heat exhaustion. Now I know why EMT's were in the store and standing by!

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.
