Pros

Great customer service and high ticket items from the furniture dept help motivate to push credit sales

Cons

Having to build merchandise as it comes off the truck, hang giant rugs, sign/tag new merch, inventory check, plus reset floor, put returns away, help as a backup cashier/layaway, bring in shopping carts from outside (in all weather), load up sold merchandise from dept into customers vehicles, train/supervise new associates, all while working along covering my dept during a full shift.

Pros

My coworkers and a steady wpaycheck. And meeting some great people. The discount is nice.

Cons

This company likes to put all the work on its associates. Anything that’s grunt work or where you have to get your hands dirty. All they care about are pushing out those credit cards. I’ve seen some of the best employees quit because they’re burnt out and don’t get scheduled any hours. I don’t blame them. I’m looking for another job as I type this. My body hurts and I’m being abused physically and taken advantage of.
