Pros

Benefits offered, 401K, In Person Work

Cons

Design departments are not supported. Design team members must organize and and coordinate not only the the departments materials for each location but must also meet a minimum sales per year in order to qualify for assistant help. If help is hired the design associate must also train new associates while juggling the maintenance of show rooms, new clientele, on going projects, and personal trainings.

Pros

I haven’t been here for very long yet, but I’m already so glad that I left my job and joined the team here. The people who work here are awesome, and I’ve already built some great relationships. The new hire training here is also incredible, and made the onboarding process very smooth.

Cons

Starting at a new job is difficult. Focus on the good!

Pros

They pay you for being there The store doesn't smell that bad

Cons

Constitutionally toxic working environment. Zero training, zero sense that anybody is in charge. Words and actions of emplyees are so routinely out of bounds its the norm and is completely accepted. The apathy and toxicity is unmatched anywhere else......truly astounding.

Pros

Sort of ok equipment. Decent times to get loaded and out of the yard. Industry standard pay.

Cons

VERY poor management. Next to zero accountability. No concept of personal time. Not willing to give pay raises. No acknowledgment of achievements. No chances or offers of lateral movement in the company. Poor training. Regular refusal for doctor appointments or needing to leave early after giving 1 -2 weeks notice. Time off during inclement weather takes away your vacation time then your sick time.
