Pros

I was coordinator and I enjoyed merchandising and fixing up my area. You get to use your creativity, but you need to work fast. I had great managers for the most part. Thank god I was working at a combo store with tjmaxx, so hg associates did not have to cashier!!!!!

Cons

Standards changing all the time so we moved A lot of gondolas, tables, moving whole depts and glass shelves. There was always something to do, I always felt like I was power walking the whole time. Only coordinators get full time, part time can't receive more than 29 hours. If closing expect 3-4 associates scheduled. 6 days of processing since it was high volume store and many times felt like I was running out of steam and wondering where I put all these things.

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.
