In their own words
“At Home is a home decor superstore with 50,000 items to fit any budget or style, from furniture, mirrors, rugs, art and housewares to tabletop, patio and seasonal decor,” says Lee Bird, chairman and CEO.
About the culture
In the most recent fiscal year, more than 300 corporate and field employees were promoted to new roles. And all At Home office team members — regardless of pay grade — are eligible to receive annual bonuses based on company performance.
Employees say
"I go to work every day excited to do my job and see the team members. I love my job because it allows me to be creative and business-savvy."
"I love my job because it's flexible, and they trust you to get your work done. No micromanaging, great perks and I love the sample sale!"
"I am allowed the freedom to do my job without being micromanaged. I am able to communicate concerns and ideas with my supervisors openly without being judged."
Good works
In 2017, At Home designated Habitat for Humanity International as its national corporate partner. At Home has also donated volunteer time and money to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, DFW women’s health and shelter organizations and many local food pantries.
Fun facts
At Home stores stock 50,000 products and get 400 new items each week. And the company nurtures a positive and inviting office culture with all-hands pizza parties, Town Hall meetings, birthday and anniversary recognition, offsite team building events, and foosball and pingpong tables in the break rooms.
