Pros

Working at Homegoods (especially my location) was...an experience. What I liked about working at Homegoods was getting a good amount of hours and not really having to do much. Since there is always a decent amount of employees working at any given time you really don't have to run around that much except when on as a cashier but even then it's not bad. You do get a 10% discount on merchandise but that's not much (compared to competitors who offer 20-30% employee discount) unless you are buying a very expensive item.

Cons

Cons of working for Homegoods is that you do not get a high hourly wage salary. I started at $7.25/hour and would get maybe a .30 cent raise once a year depending on the review given by management. The products that Homegoods sells to its customers are also not the greatest and be prepared to hot glue anything that gets broken so it can be resold...

Pros

The people and the company respects diversity.

Cons

After working there after a year, the no fault hours doesn't kick in, if your hired date falls after December. Working with lazy employees and bonus are not fairly distributed, depending on which shirt you work on.

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
