Pros
Good pay compared to other companies in an assistant manager role
Cons
As an assistant manager at HomeGoods you are basically a high paid associate that carries keys. As with most retailers payroll drives what you do and how the store operates on a daily basis. If payroll is tight you will have to pickup the slack. That can even mean getting in the trailer and unloading. Sometimes you will be the highest paid cashier in the store for hours on end. There is never enough payroll to schedule your employees to complete the tasks that need done. You can not keep up merchandising standards because they keep sending you freight that you really don’t need and not enough of the products that you do need. Merchandising standards always suffer because of the constant “get it out of the back” direction from corporate.
