I work at HomeGoods and for the holidays it was a nightmare. It's a small store and we were getting 5 trucks a week with over 1400 pieces on them (we can handle 2 trucks averaging 600 pieces per week). Our “backroom coordinator”, just a fake position for a poor kid that takes the blame for things not getting done in the back with the promise of authority and higher wages but actually gets neither, walked out multiple times due to the stress. Our store manager would come back and bitch at us at least every hour and tell us we weren't going fast enough. She would make condescending remarks and say passive agressive comments like “boy it sure is moving slower than molasses in the winter back here”. We were all making $11 an hour, only because that's what new hires walked in at and they had to match the employees wages that had been there for years. Our store did 2.2 million dollars more in sales than the previous year and over the holidays we only cancelled 2 trucks (other stores in our region cancelled 10 or more our store was the only store in the single digits). To thank us the company (TJX, they are TJMaxx, HomeGoods, Marshalls, HomeSense and Sierra Trading Post) gave all employees a $75 Christmas Bonus the last week of February. Gee, thanks. A lady I work with who has been with the company for 7 years put her 2 weeks in when we got it. I'm right behind her.
