Productive place to work
This is a very busy environment with many products that need to be inventoried and shelved. Large customer base so able to polish my customer service skills, left due to limited management opportunities.

Terrible
I hated working here. It was my first job and it was a summer job. My coworkers were super nice but the managers made me clean the bathroom once, and that was not part of the job description. I was 17 when I was hired, and they have a policy where they do not hire anyone younger than 18. I did not get paid for my shorter breaks which were ridiculous because of everyone else did. Overall, I would not recommend a friend to work here.

HomeGoods is good for part-time
I think it’s a great company, and they are pretty good about respecting your part time schedule, but then it depends on the manager doing it. If you want a career in retail this is a good company to work for, but
Pros
Responsive management
Cons
In house miscommunication

Good people but not enough employees for the amount of work
I enjoyed the people I worked with. The other employees were friendly and we all worked together to get things done. The job started off good but after about a month we had too much work to get done with the amount of employees we had.

nice place, but lacked advancement
It was really hard for some to advance in the company. I was eager to learn different positions of the store, which the company kind of allowed. I was offered a promotion several times, but they never mentioned anything after the three times, later stating it wasn't in the budget and sorry they never told me. I continued to work various parts of the store where needed, but at the quarterly review, only "met expectations" as a sales cashier and only allowed a 50 cent raise. none of the extra work i did counted toward anything.
Pros
flexible hours
Cons
no room for advancement

Productive and fast paced
A typical day at work was fast paced. I learned to work in a fast paced environment and help my coworkers. Management was pretty good as well as the workplace culture.Hardest part of the job was because of the pace, if we were short or under staffed, we'd have to pick up the pace and work a little harder, kind of not fair but we dealt with it.The enjoyable part of the job was getting off work and checking out new merchandise and products in the store, because there would be something new everyday.

Typical Retail With Heavy Lifting
The atmosphere between associates and management is generally friendly and convivial. The lax interview process means that there are some bad eggs that slip in through the cracks however.
Cons
Short breaks, heavy lifting, lax safety concerns

(Concerning loss prevention) If you have a good supervisor, be glad while it lasts.
My 1st supervisor (who hired me) was amazing, however he left about 3 months later & was replaced with a woman. She had never worked retail loss prevention before, only loss prevention at Blockbuster (which was not at all similar to retail in terms of theft). She quickly got rid of anyone she didn't hire herself & replaced them with others who had little to no loss prevention experience. She was threatened by us who were more experienced & was the type of person whose idea of respect meant brown-nosing her. She constantly reminded me of how I made more than the other LP detectives, all the while ignoring that I had more experience than them. She would call me on my days off or when I was not working to make some complaint about how I needed to learn more (despite her having less experience than me). Eventually I had to have HR step in to stop the harassment, but then she just would be cruel in others ways (such as giving the other detectives she hired more responsibility and signing them up for more training, meanwhile I'd be left with grunt work). Honestly I'm unsure if she was more stupid than she was mean, but she definitely had a hefty dose of both. Was SO relieved to be done with her and that job.
Pros
Good if you have an experienced supervisor.
Cons
Toxic atmosphere if you have an inexperienced supervisor with poor self-esteem.

Management is terrible
I was underpaid and under-appreciated. The management was horrible. They were rude to employees and customers. There is no opportunity for advancement unless you are there for 20+ years.

Hardest part is when you have a difficult customer.
Workplace culture is a mixture of Ethnicity.
The most enjoyable part of the job is when the store reaches its gold for the day.

Employees are coach every day on how things has to be done, and updates on the previous day Achievements.
Pros
some free lunches, celebrations of Birthdays, well done job. ect
Cons
The company benefits is very good

good for part time
A average work day in home goods is quick.
thing i learned from home goods is how to quickly build a furniture and to build a customers trust
home goods is unique we don't use a inventory system or online delivery
the hardest part of the job is when we don't have much associates to help to recover the store in time
the enjoyable part is to get to meet a lot of new customer and seeing regulars too
Pros
good working environment
Cons
not much working hours

Nice place for a first job
You'll learn the basics of retail here: merchandising the floor, helping customers, and using technology like registers and signing up people for credit cards and rewards.

Some days can be slow but the holidays are very fast and the store can get very crowded.

Overall, not a bad place to work for a first job.
Pros
relaxed environment

Workplace culture is demanding
Stressful and demanding. Unrealistic expectations are placed on individuals. Managers are always fighting with each other. HR does not address the immediate problems or show compassion for employees. Trucks are delivered with too many units of products often broken and missing parts. Team are overworked and often verbally abused or threatened by managers. Discounts are minimum and the pay scale is embarrassing to discuss.

Personal opinion
It's an okay place for a summer or a part-time job but it is not a job you would do the rest of your life. Most of the customers are nice, but it may get very stressful with a short staff especially around nights and holidays.
Pros
Sometimes there's a room for growth for a management level.
Cons
The raise system is very unfair.
