Living Spaces reviews

Long hours on every weekend. Favoritism is rampant. If you don't have your nose stuck up management's butt, you will never be recognized, no matter how well your perform your job. People who get all the work accomplished while the nose-stickers sit in the information booth and talk never get any recognition. Only those who sit in the information booth and talk get any recognition from the top four managers. One assistant sales managers sees what is going on, but he is not able to combat the other four. The pressure to sell a minimum of $100,000 per month is incredible. If you do not meet this goal--and exceed it--your employment will be terminated soon. It may not be commission, but the pressure is more intense than any commission job I have ever had. The quality of most of the furniture sold here is sub-par, and you have to deal with a lot of upset, justifiably irate customers--and there is nothing you can do. Customer service is beyond poor. Communication between management and employees does not exist. A few of the favored people (see note about noses up butts) get all the information, and the rest of the store has no information given to them. The pay structure changes almost monthly. Any time a bonus structure is set in place, and a few people make the bonus, the structure gets changed so that it is more difficult to attain a bonus--and God knows the pay is not enough to support a family on.

Worst Senior leadership and C level officers. Want to make Living Spaces GREAT, get rid of your top corporate leadership team, with the exception of Ryan Nagy. All they do is stand in everyone's way while they chase their tails getting no where. New COO has no idea how to fix the operational problems within the business and spends most of his time micromanaging meetings and delegating his responsibilities to those below him. I guess this makes him feel as if he's doing something. Smart guy, but completely unqualified for the job.
