Pros

Health benefits, opportunity to build your own team. One week vacation after 6 months, but good luck taking it if you are GM. I think the reason they give you vacation after 6 months is because they know you won't be able to take it. Just monitor the number of job postings the company has. They are not opening new stores, but there is more and more job postings in the stores. That can only mean one thing: turnover! I have f

Cons

The company is a lease purchase company with no credit checks. If customers don't pay you have to bring back merchandise. Sometimes the merchandise is so disgusting that they won't take it at a homeless shelter, but we are expected to clean it, kill the bugs in it and sell to someone else. Upper management is so concerned about profit they don't care. They do not trust the GM to make a decision to throw the merchandise out in order to prevent store from getting infested and possibly infesting other customers homes. Upper management thinks every employee is a theft because they have hired a handful of people that stole from them in the last 60 years.

Being a Sales Manager

Pros

Full time hours plus about 4 hours overtime each week minimum.

Cons

As a sales manager you almost have as much responsibility as the general manager. Only with nowhere near the same pay. Instead your pay starts out the same as the delivery drivers and the csr. And you are doing 4 times the work. Most of the time you are doing their jobs as well. Upper management always on your back about making sure you sell sell sell. Especially more than the csr. But how can you at a moderately busy store when you are responsible for pulling merchandise to and from the floor the warehouse. As well as keeping the warehouse clean. Also you are in charge of the delivery drivers and making sure they are set in the morning. You are also in charge of service for broken Merch in customers homes or in the store. So you have to wrap those up and send them to the main warehouse to get fixed. You have very meanial tasks such as a board that you have to go over everyone's sales every day and discuss with everyone. Everyday. How they can better sell to customers. O and it was even my job to vacuum. Take our trash. Make coffee. Clean windows. All jobs of the csr mind you but I was made to do them. So I have to deliver Merch as well then when I get back to the store upper management complains because I didn't get something done in the store while I was on the truck. I realize this is me ranting. But I had to experience a year of this exact stuff. Every day. And corporate was no help. They don't care about you. They will send you stuff even if you do t clearly need it. O you have 27 sets of unused lamps. Here's 5 more just in case.

Pros

There are no pros to this place. They claim to "understand " but when it comes down to it, you're just another crab in the bucket

Cons

They have no family values, and if you have an emergency, they annoy you all day long by asking if you're still coming in.
