Denver Mattress reviews

Required 12 hour days. Up to 90 hours a week. Most weeks, as a manager/asst manager are 55+ hours. No holiday or weekend time off. There are a lot of "black-out" dates that you can not have a day off. These can last for weeks at a time. If a manager or assistant manager is promoted or fired, then the manager or asst manager has to work every hour that the store is open, until a replacement is found. These periods last up to 2 months (90+ hour weeks). You have to be willing to move at their whim, or you face losing your job. You basically sacrifice a lot for this job, and it puts a very heavy strain on any relationship you hope to keep.

Health benefits don't start til you've been on the job 6 months. Vacation time is a joke (1 week AFTER 1 year) It is an all-commission job. (6% of sales, and bonuses during the week can get you an extra 1%) Weekdays are very slow. Typically, 60-80% of sales happen on weekends, so if you don't sell anything during the weekends, that week's check will be quite lean. They require you to shop the competition multiple times a month. So you basically are going to Mattress Firm and Original Mattress Factory quite a bit. The "ups" system, which they use to try to give sales associates equal opportunities to sell, is stressful at its worst, and subjective at its best. The company requires relocation for promotion to Assistant Manager, then again for promotion to manager. Employee has no say where the relocation is to as an assistant manager. Typically, relocation happens 12-18 months after hire.
