Pros

Great products. Nice showrooms. Great earnings potential. Excellent Training program at the time.

Cons

At the time I worked there it was extremely tribal and bullying in the showroom environment. Stronger personalities and veteran sales employees were threatened by newbies who did well. Systematically the more influential employees would use intimidation tactics, gossip and steal sales of others to enhance their sales goals. Other employees would complain about other employees agreed upon lunch hours. Thirty minute lunch not enough time. Sales assistants were either bullied or influenced to distribute new clientele to certain Sales reps. Noticed all that were there at the time I worked there are no longer there. Within a week after my training, senior management approached me about when I am going to hit my sale goal. At weekly sales meetings, older employees did not want to sit next to new employees as if they had some incurable disease. Very immature and childish behavior yet it was tolerated by management. Management would side with employees who took sales from other employees who were assigned specific accounts.

Good resources and support from management and corporate.

Cons

Corporate does not listen to or receive information from employees in the field or that are client facing daily. They have their agenda and they go with it.
