Pros

Competitive pay, awesome benefits (PTO, tuition reimbursement, staff cafeteria), employee discount, and medical insurance for part timers.

Cons

Management is more than willing to sacrifice employee happiness and productivity for the bottom line. Under staffing is a major issue and certain areas of the store have an incredibly high turnover rate. Opportunities for advancement are often stifled by hiring an external candidate over an internal candidate.

Pros

Cool place to work if you have no other career options, as it is retail. If they paid commission like other furniture stores this would make things a lot better.

Cons

It's retail. High school mentality as to be expected. Work your butt off for them to never promote you.
