Pros

Flexible schedule good pay if you have a good month selling Relaxed atmosphere Large variety of traditional furniture to sell Good training My manager and other people work with are good I don't hate going to work Stays busy in good locations Rewarding getting to help people choose furniture when they will talk to you

Cons

Must meet quota or get fired 3 month rolling average of selling $120,000 or $40,000 per month of furniture or fired Straight commission Bad pay if you have a bad month Unpredictable pay, hard to buy a house or a car on payments Cannot plan for the future well unless your a top notch furniture salesman Many little rules to follow Can not negotiate.......anything .......when selling Must work every holiday I've seen a lot of people come and go .......you will hear the words.....just looking, just getting ideas, just killing time more often than you can imagine. It's like customers know the script and exactly what to say

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.
