Pros

Good pay and good benefits

Cons

This company changed it's name from Garden Ridge to At Home a year and a half ago. The problem is the only thing that changed was the name. The culture is the same as it was before. The vision of the CEO is not the vision that is adhered to by people below him. The HR department allows and tolerates lies and half truth's at the DM level. This company has the potential to be an outstanding company BUT will never reach that level as long as there are still members of the old regime in charge. Don't take my word for it do your own investigating. Talk to a Store Director in confidence before coming on board. There is a reason this company scores so poorly on Glassdoor. At Home is nothing more than Garden Ridge in sheep's clothing. Also there is almost zero percent chance to promote beyond management level as they have a pitiful internal training program. Buyer beware!

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.
