Pros

I worked at Homegoods throughout my college career, and have had a pretty good experience, but that's mostly due to liking my coworkers. Aside from that, it is nice being able to switch around and work multiple postions (backroom, sales floor, registers, etc).

Cons

Unlike big retail stores there's a lack of employees working at one time, or at least in my location, which makes it hard at times. You could be helping a customer get a huge rug down, with the people at the front end calling you to ring, while in the meantime you're supposed to be picking up an organizing an entire 3rd of the sales floor. It's a lot of hard work.

Pros

My coworkers and a steady wpaycheck. And meeting some great people. The discount is nice.

Cons

This company likes to put all the work on its associates. Anything that’s grunt work or where you have to get your hands dirty. All they care about are pushing out those credit cards. I’ve seen some of the best employees quit because they’re burnt out and don’t get scheduled any hours. I don’t blame them. I’m looking for another job as I type this. My body hurts and I’m being abused physically and taken advantage of.
