Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Very laid back, non-intimidating, respectful of others, accommodating with scheduling needs
We always work as a team to get things done or if help is needed, rather its an employee or customer. I sure other HomeGoods stores are the same.
My le3adership team is very helpful when i have a question.
Organized, relatable, fun, positive, work side by side. Good training
They keep in mind that people are people and things happen. Ive had pverall great interactions with my team leadership.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Teaching employess, especially new ones how to work registers properly, be out on the floor and stock shelves and teach them where everything goes. Stop doing one day training, then letting them be on their own. Also to treat their employees better. We are human too, just like them.

Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Started at $12, worked for three years abd still did't make over $13. I knew hiw yo do everything and was asjed multiple times to do other people's jobs that were above mine, but didn't get paid what they did. Also, was never appreciated for anything management was very negative never appreciative

The bottom line employees are the structure that jokds up the store! Salary of 13.00 / hour is insufficient to maintain a povert level. We have a man who takes bus as dar as it goes then has to Uber to the store. He spends a good amt of his 13.00 fir transportation. Worrjs very hard for the store
I feel like we are over worked and very much under paid. We don't even get 40 hours as a full time employee, that is very sad. If we had some type of inventory system it would help with overstock. I enjoy working there, however it just seems like the people at the top does not care about us
I am a single mom and head of household so getting paid the same amount as a teenager is not reasonable. Especially considering i love coming into work and i put much pride in my day to just have some teenager at night mess up everything you worked hard for during the day to accomplish.
More money, alot od work for little pay
What are some of the best things about your team?
My coworkers were amazing! Some of the best people I've ever met and became friends with. There were a few. Untrustworthy people but for the most part, I've made some of the best friends I've had since working there. And I still am friends with them since I've stopped working there.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The people you work with can make it a great and positive day. It also depends on which manager you have. That is the biggest factor of how your workday is going to go. If you have a great manager and you work with great people, it's going to be a great day.

The feeling of being appreciated as a team player and not having managers who micromanage
Like I have said before everyone seems nice and cheerful when engaging with each other, makes it worth coming to a good environment.
i think it has always been a team effort on my job.
Everyone is treated fair and fell valued
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
There needs to be a fairness with all employees and corporate needs to Understand that without us employees they have no business
Better management and key holders.
better leadership to have more employees enjoy working there. leave good working conditions for employees. what is that bullshit backroom you gave us? why can you not buy a new compactor instead of having us struggle with a 50 year old one. selfish company.
Better management. To actually care about the products and people instead of ignoring it.
They need way more people to work. More management. Better communication, organization, leadership and constructive criticism.
What did you like most about the interview process?
The manager that interviewed me at my time of employment was very kind, caring and a positive manager. She ended up quitting after another another manager retired. That's when our store went downhill and we hired new management.

No typical nterview questions moreso just meeting each other, identifying schedule needs, etc.
Talking with the manager, getting to know me as a person and how I could benefit their company
The people giving the interview had a sense of humor which made the interview way easier and more comfortable.
I had all my questions answered.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
they should be more careful who they hire but they don't care
Hire managers who know what they are doing and care about employees. Every one is replaceable. You are just a worker to be abused until you are injured or quit. You mean nothing.
Tell employees the truth about work conditions and job description
What makes you most happy at work?
I love the store and items that come in just like the customers. It's a great place. Just the wrong management, attitude on how to treat employees and if that could change, I feel the store would be 10 times better.

Pleasant interactions with both guests and coworkers
The departure time I feel that I can't spend 10 hours in that work environment
I like the work and my 99% of my coworkers. I like coming to work.
the people i work with are friendly.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
need to train your nanagers on inti-samite training course the jews are good workers also.
More teamwork needs to be done.
If the company practiced what they preached. I heard so many similar cases like mine on different review sites. If the higher ups were in our shoes, theyd feel the same. Too busy pretending to be demi-gods. Its either going to fail or someone has to care.
Check who has leadership and power in your company bad people that degrade people that work for your company shouldnt have a role here
I have talked with many customers and they have said that the map of the store keeps changing everyday and that it is too cluttered.
What do you like best about your company?
It's a fun, creative place to work and I feel it best fits with my skills and education
Co-workers. Good, strong company.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
More supervision and help for new employees who haven't yet adapted to the job
Transparency. Told they would promote and did not.
