Pros

Good pay and good benefits

Cons

This company changed it's name from Garden Ridge to At Home a year and a half ago. The problem is the only thing that changed was the name. The culture is the same as it was before. The vision of the CEO is not the vision that is adhered to by people below him. The HR department allows and tolerates lies and half truth's at the DM level. This company has the potential to be an outstanding company BUT will never reach that level as long as there are still members of the old regime in charge. Don't take my word for it do your own investigating. Talk to a Store Director in confidence before coming on board. There is a reason this company scores so poorly on Glassdoor. At Home is nothing more than Garden Ridge in sheep's clothing. Also there is almost zero percent chance to promote beyond management level as they have a pitiful internal training program. Buyer beware!

Pros

Fine enough coworkers to be around

Cons

Horrendous corporate staff. Overly aggressive marketing for customers that clearly don't seem to actually care to buy anything. 90 day no question return policy means customers buy things constantly and return them even faster. Terrible inbound freight allocation, dozens of the same item are sent on each and every truck that do not sell. Overpriced, ugly, and uncomfortable furniture that sits and fits for months on end. Corporate will tear you a new one for not getting enough customers to sign up for ad bloated emails and text marketing, while also pushing a credit card with terrible benefits from a scummy bank. Will be out of business before the end of the decade.
