Pros

Base hourly wage to fall back on if you don't meet your quota for the month. Great benefits. Is typically a laid back environment.

Cons

Very little flexibility with schedule, must work every weekend. I haven't had a Sunday off in 3 months, though we are fully staffed and should be rotating. (Everyone else has had several Sundays off). Management plays favorites. The whole staff gets punished for someone else's mistake. Managers tend to micro manage when it comes to numbers. Was recently told to force the customer to stay and buy from us because the competition is nowhere near as good as us in services and products. Coworkers are sharks and will steal your customers in a heartbeat. Its hard to move up, and then management lacks the respect to tell you that you didn't get a promotion and they hired outside the company. Delivery team is horrible and causes cancelations which come out of your pocket. Only the top sharks will make decent money. No work/life balance whatsoever.

Pros

Great furniture. Deliveries go out fast. Great money I made over 50k my first year. if you work really hard you can too. Havertys will train you good enough to sell furniture if you have never sold furniture.

Cons

I worked for Havertys for a couple years I received President award in sales and at the end of the year received a pay cut when prices of everything went up. Haverty's is a Good Ol Boys club. Very conservative. Most of the sales personal are female. Lot's of drama if you start making friends. The only place I ever worked and would get totally stressed out before I even got there..My performance and money.kept me here.

Pros

Good training.Great product. Company goes above and beyond for the customer

Cons

Too many salespeople. Good for the company since they are all commission but not great for salespeople starting out. Just when you start to get headwinds, 3 or 4 more salespeople are on the floor. Sales floor was overloaded on the least busy days. Toxic people were tolerated if they could close sales.
