Pros

great product, great customer service, easy computer system to learn. Beautiful showroom

Cons

weekends are shot, long 11 hr Saturdays. If sales staff doesn't like you, you will be pushed out. DO NOT discuss anything personal with anyone, trust no one. Management is a cold hearted individual who will pretend to be a compassionate manager to get you hooked and hired but then wont communicate to you once your hired. Sales managers will ignore you and not mentor to you like they should, let you hang yourself when you don't perform and blame you for not progressing as you should, despite no mentoring. You are expected to be a robot and learn the job overnight. I was thrown a workbook with no expectation or follow up of the exercises I was told was a requirement ONLY at exit interview. My workbook was not checked by anyone and no coaching as to if I understood it. I was ignored by management with no guidance given to me. Management plays favorites and if they don't want you, you will be set up to fail! Its an ultra conservative environment. I didn't find it relaxing at all to interact with fellow co-workers. Constantly talked down to in a condescending tone and corrected like a child would be.

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.
