Pros
I’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with some truly great people during my two decades at City Furniture across multiple departments within the organization (operations, customer care, marketing.) Many of them are no longer with the company and share the same views I have expressed below.
Cons
- Management is poor and promoted leaders are not held accountable for their actions. - The promoted leaders often lack basic leadership skills. - The primary focus is on doubling the business every four years, regardless of the cost to employees. - The company preaches work-life balance and encourages employees to seek help if needed, but in the same breath, they perform layoffs (multiple in 2024) and inform everyone that they need to take on additional responsibilities and work. - The CEO seems more interested in being an influencer than in effectively running the company. - This isn't a place to build a career. You are here to feed a machine. If you want to make some money short term, give City Furniture a shot. This company does not encourage growth, despite what they say about their Individual Development Program.
