Pros

Good Pay if you can prospect and close the up but that is true with most positions with most companies. Furniture is good quality.

Cons

The company is managed from corporate which doesn't work. Customers and Sales People are getting lost in the red tape and centralized from corporate management model. Management from corporate to the regional management DO NOT care about their employees and show they DO NOT care on a consistent basis. Computer system is grossly out of date which causes major issues with delivery, paying sales people, etc. They still use Bosa Nova for their schedule and delivery software, this can give you a clue. Benefits have taken a serious decline over the years. They penalize you if you do not get delivery paid and gold plan included. they no longer sell the high end brands of furniture that we used to sell very well. They have moved to a Haverty's Brand Furniture. This hurts our sales since we are not able to match competitors prices since no one else carries the Haverty's brand . duh!

Pros

They provided health insurance and 401K contribution

Cons

Very low additional pay for Sales Manager role. COMMISSION only job. Some months I made $14.00, other months I made $8000.00. I was Salesperson on the month many times and still never broke $50K year. LONG HOURS. Many people there work 12 hour days, just to get their sales numbers enough to avoid being fired. Upper management is "Old Boy" mentality.
