Homegoods Employer Reviews

HomeGoods is a fun place to work. The associates as well as management are very easy to get along with. A Typical day consist of unloading the truck, processing merchandise, stocking shelves while merchandising the shelves. While doing those task you also are working on the cash registers as needed.

Being in the world of retail is a daily adventure of ups and downs. I love interacting with the customers on a personal and design level. I like to make connections with them, whether it is discussing the products that they are buying or current events. I love having the opportunity to make the customer's day a little better with a good experience. – more...  There are challenges with balancing the demands of job but the benefits out weigh the low points. – less

But they are NOT. Unless you want to go into management, the most hours you can get are just 15 hours a week. And the least could actually be 4 hours. And they COULD but they do NOT give you 15 minute breaks. Every company needs to provides BREAK TIME, it helps you focus if you can just sit down for a short time and maybe have a soda or something in – more...  the middle of your time there. It's stupid with this place because if you are full-time they DO give breaks every 2 hours or lunch { work 2 hours get a break, work two more go to lunch, work two more get a break, two more hours go home..}. They CHOOSE NOT TO LET YOU HAVE A LITTLE BREAK if you are part-time. AS IF a part-timer needs less of a break than a full-time person ???? ......HEY, 4 hours or so with no break affects a part time person AS MUCH as it would the full-time person. And you are paid rock-bottom minimum wage too. I had a hard time focusing my first day because I went almost 4 hours with zero break.
That is disrespecting and NOT CARING about their part-time workers. Oh I got plenty of observation as to "how I was doing" but no break time to catch my breath. STUPID COMPANY TO WORK FOR, THEY DON'T CARE, USE YOU LIKE A SLAVE, MINIMUM WAGE, NO BREAK TIME FOR PART-TIME BUT THEY ARE BUSY OPENING NEW STORES AND I AM SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY FOR THEM ???? THEY SUCK. And the supposed "family" atmosphere is not really 100%, I didn't feel appreciated enough or recognised enough. My "start and end" dates here are INCORRECT because I can't state that right now for privacy reasons. For those of your conditioned to think that it's ok or "normal" not to get a break after 2 hours, all I can say is that you have been successfully brain-washed. It's been proven too, that workers do better if they get break time. We are not machines. – less

I loved the houseware enviornment as well as those i worked with.

I was very happy here for the three years I worked at HomeGoods

Home Goods is a home decor dept. store. I loves my co-workers and was very happy and greatful that when I resigned they had a gathering for me. It was an honor to work with them. they welcomed me with opern arms. I miss them most. Customers were also nice. The store was always busy and hectic but we were great team workers there.

The dock doors are open during work hours, in the winter, it gets very frigid, have to wear coat, hat and gloves while working. During summer, it gets super hot and you can wear shorts, no flip flops, sandels,no open toe, must wear tennis shoes or boots. They have ALOT of employees and plenty of refrigerators, microwaves and vending machines
