Pros

They have a fantastic training program and a great benefits package. You can visit the health facility for free until your insurance kicks in. Offers $15 an hour for your first 8 weeks to get started. The corporate employees are very kind and friendly people, but the sales teams are full of cliques.

Cons

VERY high-pressure sales environment. Do not work here if you want to eventually move out of sales. If you are good at sales and attempt to get a corporate position they will keep you in sales for their benefit. The company communication emails from top leadership do nothing but push sales constantly. The president believes that the COVID-19 crisis was an opportunity to sell more furniture and directly stated so via email. Some fellow salespeople are nice, but most behave like they are still in high school (regardless of old age even). They recently changed leadership structure and demoted many individuals and seem to be changing the commission structure soon to where it will be harder to earn bonuses ( a third of most associates's income). Change can be a good thing, but the changes they are undergoing are rather concerning. Half of the employees have been brainwashed while another good portion secretly hates their jobs. The turn over rate is very high, and it seems like an amazing job and company until you start to learn their politics and see how they take advantage of their sales associates. You will also work about ten hours a day.

Pros

Coworkers were great, fun company parties.

Cons

Pay structure got changed shortly after I got hired from paid on written to delivered. We were promised it wouldn't affect our pay but that's not true, they close off half the days for delivery on the week of payroll. Bonuses aren't getting paid out the way they used to. Upper management preaches family environment and how they want us to have a work life balance. Upper management actually says a lot of things that sound great in theory but they never back up what they say. They are looking to expand and doing anything they can to cut back our pay. We do a cult chant every morning lol. Your goal is insanely high so the only way to meet it is to life (all day shift) or come in on off days. The micro-managing is out of control and makes you extremely uncomfortable on the floor. You get written up for anything, 0 appreciation for the hard work you put in. I work on the Ashley side and the online business hurts us so much in the showroom. The turnover is high and for good reason, if you aren't drinking the kool-aid and are somewhat intelligent you can see through all the lies. I wish I had more good to say and I'm not some bitter employee I was one of the top salespeople in my showroom but I wouldn't recommend working here unless you're ok with no work life balance, constantly having your pay cut, being micro-managed the moment you walk into the showroom, and being promised things that will never happen.
