Hi, I wanted to personally thank you for leaving us a company review. It sounds like we were meeting your expectations in some significant areas, but we need to be mindful of compensation and Saturday scheduling. As you probably know, this industry has always seen considerable business on Saturday, which is why the day seems long, because it is. As a company, we try to combat this with Sundays off, rotating Saturdays, and 5-day work weeks for most positions. But I understand entirely that 12 hours is a tough shift. We will continue exploring opportunities that promote balance and serve the customers. Workloads can be unpredictable, and I am not sure we will be able to remedy the “consistently busy.” Still, I would encourage you to rest and rejuvenate during appropriate breaks and lunch. Concerning pay, while I feel we are competitive, I would recommend an open conversation with your manager regarding your pay so everyone is on the same page. Hopefully, this will lead to a productive conversation. I greatly appreciate your tenure with us and the time you took to leave this review. I am an email away if you ever want to discuss things further. Thank you, Brooke

Hello, We certainly appreciate your time and tenure with us and your leaving us a review. Internal advancement within the company means a lot to all of us. There is nothing like watching those around us grow and step into new roles to fulfill their professional goals. I agree that we are fortunate to have teams with varied backgrounds, personalities, cultures, and experiences. Each team member brings authenticity and a uniqueness that cannot be duplicated, and we are lucky enough to be a part of it. Navigating a business through an unprecedented time with COVID-19 was challenging and complex in the workplace. While I am sure we had much to learn, our team members and customers' health and safety remained at the forefront, and I am sorry if you were negatively impacted during that time. We thank you for your feedback and hope you are doing very well. Warm regards, Brooke

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your time with us. It appears we met your expectations in some areas and still have work to do in other areas. Hours and compensation can be challenging in this industry, especially amongst the sales team, and I understand that concern. We have and will continue to be mindful of time spent in the showroom. This is why we are closed on Sundays’ and offer a 5-day workweek. While performance generates compensation in the sales department, evaluating and implementing competitive pay plans is always on the “To-Do” List. We want to see success for everyone on the team. Your “advice to management” is a valid point. Managers are expected to lead, grow, and mentor, requiring undivided attention, focus, and commitment. We will aim to improve, but we also understand as humans, a bad day can follow us to work. We wish you all the best now and in your future professional endeavors. Best, Brooke
