Pros

Flexible schedule good pay if you have a good month selling Relaxed atmosphere Large variety of traditional furniture to sell Good training My manager and other people work with are good I don't hate going to work Stays busy in good locations Rewarding getting to help people choose furniture when they will talk to you

Cons

Must meet quota or get fired 3 month rolling average of selling $120,000 or $40,000 per month of furniture or fired Straight commission Bad pay if you have a bad month Unpredictable pay, hard to buy a house or a car on payments Cannot plan for the future well unless your a top notch furniture salesman Many little rules to follow Can not negotiate.......anything .......when selling Must work every holiday I've seen a lot of people come and go .......you will hear the words.....just looking, just getting ideas, just killing time more often than you can imagine. It's like customers know the script and exactly what to say

Commission only!

Pros

Great management team. They really want to help you grow and succeed with the company.

Cons

They start off with saying you will make $10 an hour. This is false. It is commission only and you have a quota each month to hit of $45k: $40k in some locations. If you miss that $40-45k you go on probation. The next month (month 2) you have to hit that $40-45k quota and the difference from the month before. Same goes for month 3. If you can not hit all the quota requirements by end of month 3, your fired. Be aware.

Pros

Stable company that treats customers well. That's about it.

Cons

Micromanaging grind with pay cuts every year! They want you to get EVERY customers phone number and email or your job is threatened. They value employees that send mass annoying emails over ones that actually sell. Every year they adjust the pay plan so you make less money for more work. You will work EVERY weekend, holiday and most nights. You will wait for hours in between customers due to loading the floor. But don't worry this time is useful for your manager to harass you for not getting an email address from the 89 year old woman that came in looking for a pink lamp. While your family and friends are enjoying a BBQ you will be working Memorial Day and being harassed for not getting enough customer emails even though you are outselling everyone. The following weekend you will miss your sons 8th birthday party and your daughters soccer game to wait 5 hours for a chance to talk to a customer who later buys based on your recommendation and email you sent them. Too bad they buy online and the company pays you zero commission even though they followed the link you were forced by management to provide in your email.
