Pros

Really the only positive aspect of working in office in tampa is the employees.

Cons

The company doesn’t seem to care about their in-office employees. Over the years they have stopped giving any perks to working for their corp office - there used to be a sense of care with company picnics, raffles, warehouse furniture sales for employees, EOY bonuses, even holiday parties, but all that is gone now. They don’t even offer separate PTO and sick time, it’s all lumped in together. But wait, that’s not all. Last year an employee came dressed up as ICE for Halloween and HR didn’t do anything about it, which was shocking to so many employees but with the political leaning of the C suite, I can’t say that’s surprising at all. And finally, there have been a handful of layoffs over the past few years and one thing you should keep in mind is if you get laid off for any reason, no matter your tenure at the company you will only get one week of severance. There have been several ex employees who have worked for 5+ years and have had very little compensation for it. Save your time and go apply for a company who actually cares about the people who work for them.

Pros

You get to sit on comfy furniture and sometimes they buy you food

Cons

There is a lot of people that come in there that are not interested in buying furniture but just looking around so they are not interested in having someone follow them around. They do want you to follow people around and keep checking back to try to sell them some of the furniture. You don’t get very much commissions off of the furniture sell you get more money from the bonuses. If you sign people up for the Ashley credit. They want you to be there for every single holiday except Christmas day and Thanksgiving. Every other holiday is a day that you may not ask off because it is a sales day.
