Pros

There is lots of opportunity for growth.

Cons

Lots of hours. Overworked, and under compensated. In order to move up you have to relocate.

Thank you for your review. Our typical work schedule is about 45 hours per week, which is pretty standard for a job that pays an average starting yearly pay of over $40,000, plus benefits. We do understand that the issue some have is when the hours occur. As we are a retail sales company, our employees work evenings and weekends, have 2 1/2 to 3 days off during weekdays and we understand some are not accustomed or adaptable to this. We have many long term employees that have enjoy the schedule and are able to balance work and life. In terms of undercompensated, I disagree as we pay based on performance and the vast majority of our entry level sales staff makes over $40,000 per year and staff that have been promoted to store managers make over $70,000, some over $100,000 based on their performance. Finally, relocation is not required to promote, but since we are a nationwide company, we have many more chances for promotion if you are open to relocation. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss your experience with Denver Mattress further, please feel free to contact me 303-566-8172

Pros

Potential to make a good amount of money if everything is in place well.

Cons

No personal space, die for the company mentality, no backing, extremely outdated, new hires are expendable and no family/work life balance at all.

We appreciate your feedback, but are very confused by your review. The "No Personal space" comment makes no sense as we work together in a store, not with cubicles, but you are more than welcome to take breaks and decompress when necessary. The "die for the company" is very strange as well. We do ask for loyalty as most companies do, but we never ask you to do more than anyone else is willing to do. "No Backing" makes no sense as we have a very extensive training program that invests a lot of time and money into each person, directly going against your "new hires are expendable" comment as we look at all employees as our most valuable asset and new employees as the future of the company as we only promote from within, so no one is expendable. I am not sure what you are talking about on the "extremely outdated" as we have the most state of the art mattress manufacturing facility in the country, continue to work on updating our in store point of sale systems, and focus on having the best products. Finally in terms of work life balance, our average employee works 45 hours per week making very good money, so with that schedule and money, you should be able to balance your life as a vast majority of our long term employees have been able to do. If you truly felt like this in your store, then I would challenge you to have spoken with your district manager or to call me at 303-566-8172 to assist. We want the best experience possible for all of our employees, but do understand we are not the perfect company for everyone. Feel free to call me anytime and best of luck with your future endeavors.

Thank you for your review. We recognize that the pay in when you get paid on your sales has been different for everyone, but please remember that how much you get paid has not. The base commission structure has not changed and many people are making more money now due to the change adding commissions to your vacation pay, unlike before. We have recognized the need to pay the delivery crews more and have just recently greatly increased their pay for delivering our products in order to better incentivize them. I would recommend you speak with your district manager about this and make sure your store is fully aware of this new pay. If you are having trouble getting product delivered in a timely fashion, please feel free to contact me at 303-566-8172 so that I may assist in expediting the products to your store and in making sure the deliveries are done in a fair and equitable way for all stores involved.
