Ashley Furniture reviews

The hiring process and on boarding were terrible. I was given an offer and then it was resented. I was called two weeks later asking if I would accept the original offer. I should have known then not to accept it. The atmosphere and culture was toxic from day one. My boss immediatly told me that they hated the job and it was a daily struggle to keep from resigning. Everyday facing that leadership was a challenge and it was difficult to maintain a positive attitude. There were tons of managers and directors running the show who have no experience in furniture retail or brick and mortar retail in general. The employees are not collaborative and treat each other as the enemy. Most of my department worked in silo and only care about their own well being. Most of the daily meeting are more of a "dog and pony show" and less of collaboration to make things better and grow the bottom line. I would not recommend the Ybor office.

Ashley is a difficult culture to join. If you do fall in-step with the company culture, you will only be happy for a short-time as they are losing so many upper management leaders that the overall company culture is constantly changing. If you try to buck this family owned culture, you will exhaust yourself and ultimately be unsuccessful. By introducing new corporate buildings in North Carolina and Florida in addition to their Wisconsin based home, they have now introduced even more confusion on what working for Ashley should look like. I would highly recommend not spending a minute of your career trying to navigate these waters. Quite frankly, it shocks the heck out of most employees that Ashley continues to be marginally successful..... despite themselves.
