Once you accept the job you will lose ALL aspects of your life because you are required to work EVERY weekend and ALL holidays (except Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year's day). You will also work A LOT of closing shifts (get off at 9:30 pm). They don't consider where you live so most likely you will have a long commute. I drove 55 mins each way. Management (especially GM's) is like a cult! If they don't like you, you will not be promoted under any circumstances! I've see it happen MULTIPLE times. When it comes to advancement you must be the favorite/behind kisser. Otherwise you don't have a chance... forget about it! I've also seen managers (especially GM's) bully other employees.
Sales Goals are set extremely high with a crowed floor. Therefore, if you want to make your goal/any money you will need to come in on your days off. There's only a handful of people throughout the entire company that does extremely well. Everyone else that works here are living paycheck to paycheck.
Lots of drama! Everyone knows each others business or "think" they know. Moreover, there are LOTS of internal relationships (extremely unethical) due to the amount of time spent at work.
EXTREME Micro-management!! You can't do anything without a manager breathing on your neck. It's ridiculous! I've never had a job with such extreme micro-management.
High turnover.I worked at City Furniture for 14 months and have seen MANY people come and go. If you can make it to the three year mark you might be able to survive the City Furniture lifestyle because by that point they will have you brain washed.
