Pros

Beautiful store to work in.

Cons

You have to wait 30 days for your first pay check , so if you need a check in two weeks move on. You will need to go to Atlanta for your training for a week they expect you to pay for it . But they will Reimburse and that may take a while .Floor has to many sales people they tell you what the top sales people are making in the 60 thousand range but they work every hour the store open so they dilute the opportunities for you. Old sales people will intimidate you to leave and will not be helpful because you are taking money from them.

Pros

Depending on if you luck out or not, your coworkers can be fun. You can learn a lot about furniture, especially from the sales people who have been doing this for eons.

Cons

You work every holiday and every weekend. You work on commission with a base which I was told is the same for everyone until I quit and then my manager offered me a bigger base pay to stay. Sometimes it's really slow. You can really only make a lot of money if you're okay with bending the rules and have your coworkers hate you for stealing their sales, and if you're a designer it's like pulling teeth getting the sales team to use your expertise as they would prefer to dump customers they don't want to work with on you, they'd rather not leave the store to go on house calls (I don't even blame them), or they'd rather have the customers do their own work and leave the store to measure their own house, this way the salesperson can work with another customer (again, they work on commission so I don't blame them).
