Pros

Great culture, nice people, and an inclusive business. Though it hasn't been long yet, as of right now I am enjoying the experience that City Furniture is offering. I think training was very organized and efficient. Haven't come across anyone who has said negative things about the company while being there. It is nice to see they are implementing different strategies and career opportunities as a result of their growing business.

Cons

None at the moment.

Pros

This would be a good job for someone new to sales who has no prior knowledge and needs a job.

Cons

Having come from a big background in sales/management it was really difficult for me to conform to the ways of this company. Training program in place is a nightmare and waste of time. They really want you to be robotic. I agree with the cult like atmosphere that some of the reviewers mentioned below. I also think making people drive back and forth for sales training is a waste of their time. Also truck day is pointless and as a woman I find it uncomfortable. There was a lot of off putting things that this company did which made me think twice about working here.

Pros

A great place for young adults to get their first sales experience. They do truly promote and empower young individuals to be leaders - A great "resume builder".

Cons

The unfortunate side of that is lack of experience and even team collaboration in the individuals showrooms, since most college students are lacking experience, and most veterans are petulant over managers being younger/inexperienced. It's unfortunate but the reviews below alluding to favoritism are true, having been for over three years in their management program I can tell you that when you are working under someone who see value in you you excel, however it is luck of the draw which showroom you are sent to and one move can hinder your growth no matter how consistent you are with your work. You will experience cliques, and catty behaviors as most sales organizations have. If you can muscle through you will come out on the other side with some great experience, tough skin, ready for true career. They preach to recruiters that they are happy if they "get 5 years from an MIT", but parade the success stories of the manager who have been "lifers" to give young individuals a sense of security.
