Two words. Sweat shop. Working out back getting the merchandise off the truck is unbelievably demanding. For min wage. - Sales Associate HomeGoods Employee Review

Pros

I really wish I could think of one, to give a balanced review. But I keep looking at the whole experience from a customer's point of view and therefore can't think of one pro.

Cons

The work is very hard and you feel like a horse or robot. You're pushed very hard. The morale was less like a job and more like a prison. There seemed to be more focus on pushing credit cards than providing great customer service. The furniture would practically fall apart right off the truck. So much of it had to be trashed before it even made it to the floor. None of it was real wood. When bad nicks or damage was on a piece a marker was used to cover it up. Some stuff was sent out to the floor with concealed structural damage. These practices weren't store specific. Very shady company.

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.
