Vantaggi
Don't know why some of these people are complaining so much, I honestly loved my job at Home Goods and would go back if I wanted to. I guess maybe it was just my managers but the place was a pretty laid back. I loved being able to make displays and organize my departments the way I wanted to. Me and my managers always had good communication. They always gave me "standards" but I was generally able to set up my departments the way I wanted to (Or the way I had to because there's usually never room available).
Svantaggi
The pay sucks but being a coordinator helped a bit. Some days can drag on and others can fly by, it's always what you want to make of it. As long as you go in there with a good attitude then it will be a good day (unless your coworkers try to complain and bring you down. Trust me, it happens a lot). Also some managers do try to micromanage to much and just wind up conflicting with standards or other managers plans for that section. The worst the about being a coordinator was that departments were always changing and moving around too much. It was pretty much once a month that at least 3 different departments would move across the store in order to attempt to make more room for incoming merchandise. The moves themselves usually took 1-2 weeks so it was pretty pointless.
