Pros

Started out really good. cared about employees and paid well. I worked at Ashley furniture for over 10 years. I was in sales, always in the top 3 and 4 years in a row I was number 1. My relationship with my coworkers was good. People at work became like family. You will always miss the people you worked with.

Cons

Ashley furniture breaks down in to 3 parts Rockladge, stoneladge and I forgot the 3rd ladge. Basically, chicago, California and Florida markets. Chicago market was never on its own. They followed either the California market or the Florida Market. Every few years there were new rules to follow. As the years went by, the commission structure changed. In mid 2016, the structure changed in a way that it was obvious that the company did not care about having good sales people on the floor and just wanted bodies in their show room. The pay structure was done in a way that sales people would get paid $10 an hour if they ship under $10,000 a week and to make sure of that, they flood the floor. They stopped caring about their employees making money and cared about their own pockets. one question: If a certain salesperson is shipping $2000 that week and on Friday he gets a customer that wants to spend $7,000 but must be delivered on Saturday (the next day). Why would the salesperson care to try their best to close it? My salary went down from ~$75,000 to ~$45,000. I have to thank you for that because it led me to my current job.

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.
