Pros

Very little supervision from the District Manager or anyone from corporate.

Cons

The daily routines are run through various emails that come from many different corporate sources. Often the emails were conflicting and hostile in tone. There is no written operational guideline to follow. It was a difficult place to keep a good attitude, field support is disconnected from the stores and generally ask for photos of projects instead of visiting the stores. There are no planograms so every item that comes in gets "flexed" into the shelves. I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. Google GardenRidge and you will see many horror stories.

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.
