Pros

Fun atmosphere with plenty to do every day. After a day working at Garden Ridge, you always feel like you accomplished something. We have really good team spirit at our location. Thanks mainly to our G.M.

Cons

It seems in these tough economic times, that the consumer is spending less, and returning items frequently. We are somewhat low on staff, which really tightens the work load. I would love to have a spotless, organized store, though that is nearly next to impossible. You need to be strong physically and mentally to work here.

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.
