Beware: Nepotism, cronyism, and favoritism is the company culture.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Benefits (despite being on the low-end and costly). Hardworking and helpful co-workers. Great work experience for resume.

Cons

Low wages with disproportionate responsibility. Deceitful and disingenuous ownership, management, and human resources department. Nepotism and cronyism are the company culture. Unprofessional and spiteful lower management. Management micromanages and bullies employees, undermines staff ideas prior to company meetings, and marginalizes employee work while ownership blatantly ignores complaints. Lower management vindictively creates a tense and fearful work environment. Antiquated hiring processes and policies. Questionable employment and corporate practices.

Pros

Excellent training, must go to Miami Corporate Offices for 3 weeks, all expenses paid including training. Great furniture, easy to sell, with reasonable and non-negotiable pricing. I really liked my managers.

Cons

Your personal phone number is put on your business cards and you may get calls at all hours from customers. You must also keep your phone on after hours in case corporate wants to reach you. If you get a call from from a customer on your day off and they want to meet you at the store that day, ideally, you should go in or risk losing your customer to another associate who may not split the commission with you. Must follow customers around the showroom even if they don't want you to follow them on hard cement floors that are killer on your feet even if you wear orthotic pads in orthotic shoes. You can choose commission or salary, but still have to meet sales quotas with salary or risk getting let go. beware of sales associates who break rules, steal customers, or don't split sales to meet quotas. Every sales associate has to work all weekends with a possibility to get a weekend day off every 6 weeks or so. Commission salespeople have to work a 12 hour shift every other Saturday. I decided to leave because I'm not good at commission sales or meeting quotas, and I needed free time on my days off.

Pros

Good Income if you work more than 8 hours and more than 5 days per week. Benefits, and Training.

Cons

You are responsible for meeting goals even when customer are not visiting the store during low seasons. Get pay only when the furniture is delivered in good standing (your pay check also depends on the warehouse and delivery team manipulation of the furniture)
