Pros

If you're looking for a meaningful sales position, this is the career for you. Pay, of course, can be great at times, and also depends on your performance. I have never seen a company that promotes quicker than this one. You can work at this company if you have a family, but if you are young and single, this company would be fantastic for you. Also, the hiring process can be harder, but this company hires phenomenal people who are great to work with.

Cons

Long hours. Say goodbye to your normal 8 hour day, and say hello to a 12 hour day. Also, a lot of people who walk in treat you like a car salesman, so half the time you are trying to convince the customer that you really do care how they sleep, instead of trying to make money off of them. Not only that, but the company disallows any negotiating with the prices, which can be very frustrating. Most people who shop for mattresses know that they should hardly ever pay the sticker price that is listed, so a lot of people walk down to the competition and buy down there. Lastly, the company is absolutely obsessed with numbers. When hired, you will understand. They want to see you sell a lot of necessities (pillows, protectors, sheets. etc) and also want to make sure you reach particular numbers during your presentation with customers. If you do so, they will promote you ridiculously quickly. However, the company seems to overlook the simple attribute when wanting to promote someone, which is if they can actually run a store and lead fellow workers.

Pros

Most of their mattress are of quality.

Cons

Long hours are ridiculous. It was common for 5 of us to sit around for 2-3 hours waiting for a customer. The 'boys' would play frisbee in the show room or games on their phone. The manager included. No one in the store new the right answers when I was being trained and yet it was my fault for not knowing the right answer. Hmm?? The culture of the company is a joke.

Pros

Excellent pay (100% commission) if you are excellent at sales Strong though quirky benefits Genuine advanced opportunities Fun performance based culture

Cons

Poor work life balance Dishonest hiring process Evaluate your cost to insure as subtle part of determining your fit with the company No accountability of upper managers to those they manage Drunken fraternity party atmosphere to National meetings Make dishonestly to the customer a standard practice that must be followed Previous general manager flaunted every rule Nepotism for friends of owner Upper management frequently very intoxicated Double standard for behavior of upper management

We appreciate your opinion and it is unfortunate that you still feel the way that you do so long after leaving the company. We feel that we did all that we could to redirect you and help you to improve in an effort to save your career but the effort seemed to be only one-sided. We hold no grudge and we wish you success in your future endeavors.
